• Africa • Gender • Environmental Justice • Human rights
I am motivated to work at Both ENDS to challenge global systems that create and maintain inequality. Through my work I want to rethink unequal trade relations, investments and public policies that create exploitative relations and contribute to global inequality.
At Both ENDS I work as the regional coordinator for Africa. I am the direct contact person for our partners on the African continent, as well as networking and strategising on broader thematic areas between our African projects.
I aim to raise my voice in solidarity with communities on the ground who are most effected by the climate crisis and global inequalities and make sure that their right to justice, well being and dignity is respected.

Partners fighting for rights within natural resource exploration in Uganda
A recent visit to Uganda highlighted the country as the latest example of ethical, environmental and human rights dilemmas brought forth by natural resource exploration.
Under the guise of economic prosperity and energy security, the future of Uganda’s forests, lakes, national parks, and by extension that of the people that depend on these resources, is increasingly endangered. Both ENDS partners in Uganda work with local communities to preserve these natural environments and the livelihoods that come from it.
