Story

Restless Development

Restless Development knows the importance of youth leadership. By listening and asking questions, Restless Development creates programmes that are designed to have the largest impact in every community we work in. Young people deliver every project, whilst training and mentoring peers so they too can lead change. Multiplying leadership is the most effective way of ensuring a lasting effect can be made on a global scale.

Franco's Story

Franco is from Karamoja, one of the most remote areas of Uganda. Countries in sub-Saharan Africa contribute to just 4% of greenhouse gas emissions. However global warming impacts countries like Uganda the most. With farming making up over 60% of Uganda's employment, climate change is a big threat to food security. Rising temperatures have affected crops, which people in Karamoja rely on for food.

Franco took part in research carried out by young Restless Development volunteers in his community, they used the data they collected to start up a community project training farmers. They also planted 3,000 trees, and have plans to continue planting.

We convinced our environment minister to put water systems in every village. The water systems provide safe drinking water and mean farmers have water in the dry season, when food is very scarce.

Now Franco's community and the surrounding villages are able to have enough food to eat.

Thank you for your incredible kindness and generosity!
