As climate change continues to threaten Uganda’s natural resources, eco-preneurship—entrepreneurship focused on environmental sustainability—has emerged as a powerful tool for change. At Maanyi Community Development Centre, we support green innovators who turn environmental challenges into business opportunities that benefit both people and the planet.
Why Eco-preneurship Matters
Uganda faces pressing environmental issues such as:
🌍 Deforestation due to charcoal burning.
🌍 Plastic pollution clogging water bodies.
🌍 Unreliable energy access, especially in rural areas.
🌍 Unemployment among youth, with few green jobs available.
Eco-preneurship is the solution! It promotes businesses that reduce waste, conserve resources, and create jobs in the green economy.
