We are advocating for a simplified Nutrient Profiling Model framework that sets clear, evidence-based thresholds for front-of-pack warning labels.

This policy tool is to enhance the visibility of nutritional information, for consumers to easily identify products high in sugar, salt, or fat.

Food labels should be straightforward and comprehensible to all consumers—regardless of age, education, or background. We therefore call upon the Ministry of Health to urgently adopt and implement a Nutrient Profiling Model

It's easy to be swayed by attractive packaging, but taking a moment to read the nutrition labels can make a significant difference in our health choices. Let's advocate for clearer, front-of-pack labels to help everyone make informed decisions.

Congratulations Kenya for taking such a bold step of banning over 50 harmful pesticide brands. This move prioritizes public health, protects pollinators, and sets a powerful example for the region.

Despite being banned within the European Union due to their serious health and environmental hazards, pesticides such as Mancozeb, Paraquat, and Carbofuran continue to be legally exported to countries like Uganda.

Ban Hazardous pesticides in Uganda.

🚨 Today, we formally notified the European Union of our intent to take legal action if it continues exporting pesticides banned in Europe to countries like Uganda.

We stand with global movements demanding an end to this deadly double standard.

CEFROHT Legal Aid Clinic is implementing a court ruling that restores land rights to women who were unlawfully evicted in Kiboga district.

This decision not only reaffirms their rightful ownership but recognizes the vital role women play as stewards of land, seed, and future generations.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Today, we honor the incredible role mothers play—not only in nurturing hearts but also in nourishing lives. From preparing wholesome meals to teaching the value of healthy eating, mothers are often the first champions of good nutrition and well-being in every home.
