Water Harvesting for Climate Resilience
Rainwater harvesting is more than just collecting water — it’s a lifeline. By reducing rooftop runoff, these tanks help prevent soil erosion, protect homesteads, and preserve the environment. At the same time, they improve household hygiene, ensuring families have reliable access to clean water for domestic use, sanitation, and small-scale food production. On September 25th, 2025, CODEA Uganda celebrated a remarkable milestone, the distribution of 25 rainwater harvesting tanks to water-stressed and disaster-affected communities in Bikone and Isule Parishes of Maliba sub-county, Kasese district. This intervention, implemented under the Strengthening Climate Resilience and Livelihoods (SCREL) Project funded by the confluence Institute, is part of a broader mission to build climate-smart communities that thrive even under pressure. Join the Movement; Every water tank installed represents 5 families protected, gardens nourished, and a future restored. Together, we can scale up access to clean water, strengthen community resilience, and safeguard both livelihoods and ecosystems across Kasese and beyond.
