You have probably been to the Floating Bar in Luzira, just on the shores of Lake Victoria, but we bet you didn’t know what it’s sitting on - over 600,000 plastic bottles that Mr. James Kateeba and local fishermen fished from the lake as a means to protect marine life and save the environment.

The Floating Bar has the capacity to seat more than 120 people safely and comfortably.

Joseph Kiyimba, a maestro of knowledge at the enchanting Kawempe Church of Uganda Primary School, stands out from the pedagogical crowd. His heart beats not just for textbooks and lesson plans, but for the symphony of climate change.

Picture this: In the whimsical year of 2012, fate danced Joseph to this school, a move orchestrated by the mischievous maestro, Flooding. As he set foot on this new educational canvas, the barren grounds echoed the irony of his arrival. Yet, instead of succumbing to the arid reception, Joseph wielded his green wand, transforming the desolation into a thriving oasis.

Within the verdant confines of the school garden, he orchestrates a harmonious collaboration with eager learners. Together, they sow the seeds of environmental consciousness, cultivating not just knowledge but a lush tapestry of life.

But Joseph's creativity knows no bounds. In a spellbinding twist, he and his students have woven discarded plastics into a mesmerizing gate, a beacon of sustainability rising from the refuse.

In the vibrant world of Joseph Kiyimba, teaching isn't just about words on a blackboard; it's about sculpting a future where passion and action waltz hand in hand, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of education and environmental stewardship.

His vision is to be the Green Ambassador for all teachers and schools in Uganda in order to replicate his climate change model across the country.

Ojok Okello is a man on a mission. Having been a development expert for over 15 years, he embarked on an impossible mission - to turn a rural village on the bend of ruin for a long-standing war in Northern Uganda into Africa’s first sustainable city.

Okere City as it is known is built on what he calls “Uganda’s only niche product” shea butter from shea trees. This “tree of life” has been in the life of Okere's ancestors for time millenia serving a wide array of purposes. Ojok is not about to let it die down on his watch.
