Behind the Scenes: Planning for a Healthier and Greener Community

At FOSCOD, meaningful impact begins with thoughtful planning and teamwork.

Our team came together to discuss and strategize the upcoming Energy Saving Stoves Project in Kalangala Parish, an initiative aimed at improving household cooking solutions and promoting environmental sustainability.

With the generous support of Myriad Foundation Canada, this project will soon reach families in the villages of Kalagala, Byabuku, Kyambogo, Wabusanke and Naluvule.

The energy saving stoves will help households: Reduce firewood consumption, Improve indoor air quality, Lower fuel expenses and Protect the environment

Moments like these remind us that sustainable change starts with collaboration, shared ideas, and a commitment to serve our communities better.

We are excited about the journey ahead and look forward to sharing more updates as this project unfolds.

Bringing Clean Energy Closer to Communities - Kyambogo village

Foundation for Sustainable Community Based Development (FOSCOD) in partnership with Women Rising for Africa (WRA) has successfully installed the Solar Hub Container in Kyambogo village, Wakisi Division, Buikwe district.

Following our recent site inspection and community engagement, the installation of the solar hub container marks a major step towards providing clean, reliable and sustainable energy access to the community. Once fully operational, the solar hub will support local businesses, enhance economic opportunities and empower women and youth by providing access to renewable energy solutions.

At FOSCOD, we believe that sustainable energy plays a key role in improving livelihoods and building resilient communities.

This is what community contribution looks like! 👏

We are thrilled to share the story of our Solar-Powered Salon in Naluvule Village. This is more than a business; it's a testament to how genuine partnership - between communities, our team, and partners - creates lasting impact.

This powerful project was facilitated by our intern from Hartwick College. As part of his public and environmental health internship, he facilitated vital workshops and coordinated local solar technicians to work hand-in-hand with community.

But the heart of this success is this community itself from day one. Community contributions built this achievement:

The Foundation: The community provided the land and building, a permanent investment in their future.

The Skill: Members volunteered their labour, working alongside the technicians to install the solar equipment and build local capacity.

The Enterprise: Local barbers run the salon, ensuring income stays within the community.

This is the secret to sustainability! When a community invests its own resources, the project becomes their asset. This is how we ensure it continues to thrive and empower the community for years to come.

A huge thank you to the entire Naluvule community for your enthusiasm, vision, and to our Hartwick intern, Atta Amponsah for his dedicated facilitation!
