Programme Overview
The SAFE EARTH Programme addresses environmental and climate-related threats that affect human wellbeing. Through the Clean Air and Water and Sanitation projects, FHSI promotes clean air, safe water, improved sanitation, environmental protection and community resilience to climate-related risks.
Core Focus Areas
- Clean Air Initiatives: Reducing air pollution and promoting clean air access for vulnerable communities
- Water & Sanitation: Providing safe water access and improved sanitation facilities
- Environmental Protection: Protecting ecosystems and combating deforestation
- Climate Resilience: Building community resilience to climate-related risks
Why This Matters
The programme recognises that a healthy environment is fundamental to health, livelihoods and human dignity. Environmental insecurity directly impacts food security, health outcomes, and economic opportunities for vulnerable populations.
Our Approach
The SAFE EARTH Programme integrates gender equality, youth participation, disability inclusion, climate resilience, human rights, and community participation. We work with communities to develop sustainable solutions that protect the environment while supporting livelihoods.

Through SAFE EARTH, FHSI seeks to move communities from vulnerability to protection and resilience, contributing to a Uganda where people can:
- Access clean air and safe water
- Build resilience to environmental and climate threats
- Sustain their livelihoods through environmental protection
- Live with dignity in healthy environments
