Across Africa, communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis are facing unprecedented challenges. Floods, droughts, and displacement are becoming part of daily life. Yet the young people standing up for climate justice are often under-resourced, underrepresented in the media, and at risk of violence.

That’s why United for Climate Justice, together with Resilient40, SSEF Uganda and XR DRC Kinshasa, is launching this crowdfunding campaign. We are joining forces to train more than 70 climate justice activists in non-violence, peace-building, resilience, and media advocacy in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

What We’re Doing

With your support, we will deliver:

Uganda (Oct 29–31, 2025): A 3-day Media & Non-Violent Advocacy Workshop for 30 frontline activists. They’ll learn to tell their stories, engage the press, and organize peaceful climate campaigns.

Uganda – Youth Empowerment on Circular Economy: Hands-on training for youth in seven districts to turn waste into opportunity, while running non-violent campaigns against plastic pollution.

Congo (Oct 28–29, 2025): A 2-day training in Kinshasa for 22 displaced activists from conflict-affected provinces. Topics include active non-violence, stress management, and strategic action planning.

Why It Matters

Climate Justice: Uganda’s wetlands and Congo’s vast peatlands are critical to our planet’s future.

Peace & Resilience: In regions where tensions run high, training in non-violence saves lives.

Amplified Voices: When activists can safely tell their stories, policies change.
