Under this programme, PLANE works towards improving water and sanitation services, as well as basic hygiene practices by sensitizing people in rural communities and schools on drinking safe water and proper utilization of water sources.
We believe access to clean water and sanitation and promoting hygiene practices are the essential factors of Wash(Water, Sanitation and Hygiene). They are also vital for dignity, empowerment and prosperity.
In Uganda, poor sanitation of water and hygiene, as well as unequal access to safe drinking water, make thousands of women and children very sick and at risk of dying.
Women and children are at most risk of getting the disease due to inadequate access to clean water and sanitation and often coming into contact with contaminated hands.
At PLANE, we believe that if we intensify community awareness creation on proper utilization of the water sources, providing access to clean water and sanitation for everyone and making leaders accountable, we can significantly improve the WASH sector, leading to healthier lives.
Environmental Conservation
Under this programme, PLANE aims at sensitizing the public to be part of the planet and ensure that it’s protected by combining our modern ways of living with a deeper respect and understanding of what nature provides.
In Africa, there has been rampant land degradation where people cut down trees, and establish houses in swamps and wetlands and this affects climate change.
We educate the people in communities and pupils in school to conserve and protect the environment including wetlands, forests, swamps and mountains and encourage them to plant more of the indigenous trees.
PLANE applies the drama approach to unpacking environmental conservation and protection messages and also through radio drama and talk shows.
Environmental conservationists understand that the way we live is a reflection of how we feel about the nature.
