Why climate change & the environment matter to us
The Rwenzori region regularly faces floods, mudslides and changing weather patterns that destroy homes, crops and infrastructure.
AFRIDA prioritises environmental awareness so that communities understand these risks and take action to protect their land, rivers and forests.
