BetterLife International was founded by young leaders who saw the urgent need for climate action in vulnerable communities across Africa. What started as a small initiative in Uganda has grown into a movement spanning five countries.
Since 2021, we’ve been working tirelessly to address environmental challenges while empowering the most vulnerable members of our communities – children, youth, refugees, and internally displaced people.
Our approach is unique: we believe that lasting change comes from within communities, led by young people who understand local challenges and have the passion to create solutions.
Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.
