In a vibrant display of commitment to environmental conservation, Uganda’s Little Hands Go Green successfully organized the third edition of the Children’s Climate Change March on Saturday.

The march, flagged off by the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa, saw the young participants embarking on a 2-kilometer walk around Kampala. Their mission was to not only raise awareness about climate change but also to demonstrate their solidarity in the collective effort to protect the environment.

The event provided a platform for these young advocates to showcase their dedication to creating a cleaner and healthier planet.

Little Hands Go Green, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), aims to bolster the government’s initiatives in establishing sustainable practices in schools, homes, and communities. The organization is dedicated to empowering and nurturing well-rounded children who view environmental stewardship as both their future and responsibility.

Uganda’s Little Hands Go Green, a prominent civil society organization, has been at the forefront of promoting a green future for children for the past decade. The organization played a pivotal role in coordinating the Children’s Climate Change March, uniting a network of 450 schools in Kampala and over 100,000 Green Ambassadors across 40 districts in Uganda. This makes Little Hands Go Green the largest child-led civic engagement organization not only in Uganda but also in East Africa. The success of the third Children’s Climate Change March highlights the growing influence of youth-led environmental movements in Uganda and underscores the importance of fostering a sense of responsibility and environmental consciousness among the younger generation. Little Hands Go Green continues to inspire and mobilize children to be active participants in building a sustainable and eco-friendly future for generations to come.
