We are starting a quiet revolution along the shores of Lake Victoria. Armed with illustrative pages, we want to use the power of Once Upon A time... to cultivate the next generation of environmental stewards in Uganda's school going children for the protection of biodiversity hotspots within the largest tropical lake and it’s other satellite lakes.
“I am talking about a storybook that will educate and empower children to contribute to the regeneration of declining biodiversity populations in the Lake Victoria basin.”
Project Manager: Brian Tumwesigye
Project Duration: November 11, 2024 – April 30, 2025
Why This Project Matters!
Lake Victoria, the largest tropical lake in the world, is brimming with Fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles and plant life.
Yet, its ecosystem faces significant threats.
This project offers a unique opportunity to equip children aged 9–12 with knowledge and tools to protect aquatic species critical to Uganda’s heritage and survival. Together, we can inspire the next generation of conservation stewards.
