Negotiations have been ongoing to improve safety and save lives on Lake Victoria. Starting in June 2025, AgrAbility for Africa staff, along with more than 30 coastal and island fishing and farming community trainers, will benefit from a collaborative effort to prevent the thousands of drowning fatalities that occur on the lake each year.
This life-saving skills capacity-building program for Lake Victoria communities is spearheaded by the Uganda Red Cross and facilitated by AgrAbility for Africa staff and the Uganda Junior Rangers. The initiative aims to reduce the high death toll on the lake.
