Securing the rights of Northern Uganda's children through restorative environmental stewardship — restoring ecosystems, building early warning systems, and creating green livelihoods.
VISO is scaling its environmental programming to align with the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus. Our interventions in Northern Uganda focus on mitigating the climate risks that drive child displacement, malnutrition, and school dropouts.
Climate risk is a child protection risk. When ecosystems break down, so do the safety nets that keep children in school, fed, and at home.
VISO Uganda · Environmental Protection Programme
Five interconnected initiatives protecting ecosystems and the children who depend on them.
Establishing fruit woodlots and micro-gardens in Gulu schools as "Living Classrooms" for climate-smart nutrition and environmental literacy.
Using USSD and SMS-based technology to deliver hyper-local weather alerts to farmer cooperatives, enabling data-driven crop decisions.
Capacity building for local leaders and youth groups to integrate climate risk assessment into community development plans.
Converting agricultural waste into clean-burning bio-briquettes, reducing reliance on firewood and the risks of fuel collection for women and children.
Channeling revenue from VISO's La Tedo online store into conservation and smallholder farmer support, linking enterprise to ecosystem restoration.
