Rural farmers are playing a critical role in mitigating climate change.
Climate change is a global issue that is affecting communities, lives, businesses and economies all over the world. GHF is working to support more smallholder farmers in building resilience and adapting to climate change.
Lack of access to green energy is not just a problem for Uganda, but it is all over Africa. GHF promotes the use of clean energy that reduce the burdens on rural women while cooking.
The outcomes of our interventions include reduced exposure to dangerous emissions, and saving on time and energy for the women and their households.

We are an NGO that is helping rural smallholder farmers in Uganda to grow their way out of extreme poverty. We do this by promoting sustainable agriculture, climate change mitigation actions and amplifying women’s inclusive in community development.
