Grass-rooted, multi-faith action for climate justice
ABOUT US
GreenFaith Africa brings together Christians, Muslims, those with traditional African beliefs, Hindus and others for climate justice. We began work in 2018 and our team members are based in the DRC, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
We work with grassroots people of faith to stop new fossil fuel projects, and to call for universal access to clean energy and green jobs that can lift our communities to a better future.
In East Africa, we are campaigning to stop the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Ghana, we are opposing new oil and gas expansion. In Nigeria and across the continent, we are building relationships with grassroots people of diverse faiths.
OUR CAMPAIGNS
People of faith all over Africa are organizing ambitious and faith-rooted climate actions to create a liveable future for all people.
