GOOD DEEDS DAY IN UGANDA

Uganda has been celebrating GDD since 2016. Change African Child International and Basu Community Rural Development Organization in Uganda are working together with the GDD Uganda network. The network has engaged many different civil society organizations (CSO), companies, and individual community volunteers in participating and organizing different GDD events. This year in the month of April 2021 the network organized 3 big events in different districts of Kampala and Lira. Each year over 160 organizations register to get involved in doing good in different districts of the country and in different projects related to SDGs as a contribution to the social, economic, health, and environmental development of our country.

MAIN ISSUES

Central, Eastern, Southern, and Northern Uganda

Uganda is highly vulnerable to climate change – its economy and the well being of the people are tightly bound to climate therefore climate change is likely to mean increased food insecurity, shifts in the spread of diseases like malaria, floods, damage of infrastructures, and settlements, soil erosion, and shifts in the productivity of agricultural and natural resources. It will be the poor and vulnerable who will feel these impacts so it is important that the communities will need the government, NGO’s and social corporate intervention to resolve some of these mentioned impacts caused by climate changes. Therefore issues like poverty, hunger, health and wellbeing, education challenges, and climate action have always called the attention of different sectors to resolve them.

Western Uganda

This region is focusing on reducing poverty. This is a call to every Ugandan to engage in economic activities. Improvement of Agriculture as a way to fight hunger is at the forefront, quality education is being geared by the Ugandans and in our Good Deeds Day programs this year we are trying to have very many educational institutions get involved in doing good. A healthy mind in a healthy body, to do good one must be healthy, we are promoting health and well-being as well.
