This is Public Health Global Grant Ambassador, Mr. Filimin Niyongabo, is a postgraduate student in the Master of Environmental and Occupational Health (MEOH) program at Makerere University School of Public Health (MakSPH). He is working to strengthen resilience to floods and landslides in Uganda’s Elgon region.

With support from the TIPH Global Grant, MakSPH partnered with Mbale City authorities to raise awareness of climate-related hazards in the Elgon region. Together, they reached more than 2,200 students across five primary and secondary schools.

You can find Niyongabo strengthening environmental resilience and inspiring lifelong climate stewardship by speaking to students about floods and landslides at Nkoma Secondary School, leading tree-planting activities with learners and teachers at North Road Primary School in Mbale City, presenting this important work at the 19th Makerere University Environmental Health Students Association (MUEHSA) Conference, and more!

Niyongabo’s piece of advice: “Public Health, more so Environmental and Occupational Health is not well appreciated in Uganda especially among many stakeholders including political and technical decision-makers. Therefore, one has to start pursuing a public health career with determination and readiness to engage all stakeholders in all strata of society. The famous saying that prevention is better than cure should be prioritized and actualized in the way we do things.”
