A word from the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Though I became the Executive Director in August 2018, I have had the pleasure of being one of the founders of Environmental Conservation and Agricultural Enhancement Uganda (Eco-Agric Uganda) a Ugandan Community based Non-Governmental organization. It is exciting working with Eco-Agric Uganda. The challenges are stimulating and the expectations are high.

At the beginning, our major focus was improving food security, nutrition and income among critically vulnerable women through sustainable farming practices. However, over time, we have included interventions like HIV prevention and control, sanitation towards factors that indirectly affect agriculture. We have also adopted a wholistic approach to support households with interventions like; skilling adolescent girls that produce and can’t support their children.

To date the organization has over 65,000 beneficiaries with well established offices in Hoima Kibaale and Wakiso districts.  It also started an international volunteers program and since 2017, Eco-Agric Uganda has hosted over 162 volunteers from all over the world. These have supported the organization and communities in different ways and we are grateful with their support.

We thank the district officials and sub county officials for a loyal collaboration that accommodates our beneficiaries especially the vulnerable and people with special needs.

We thank our donors, friends, supporters, mentors, and every one for a faithful and increasingly generous partnership; we know that your contribution creates change in our communities and we are proud of you. Year after year, your support serves to strengthen our desire to support the beneficiaries. We also thank the staff and management for the good work done in the field.

We thank our board of directors; without them and our generous donors, Eco Agric Uganda would not stand.

Last but not least, our deepest gratitude to the change agents and community monitors/ volunteers who give in their time and energy during the community activities. Your support to Eco Agric Uganda team is a donation in itself!

To everyone, thank you for continuing to spread the word about the beautiful sustainable service delivery by Eco Agric Uganda through its various projects.

Thank You so much. God bless you
