Humanity Horizons
Uganda
Humanity Horizons is an indigenous, youth-centered Community-Based Organization (CBO) registered in Uganda in August 2024 (No. 80034487117857). We emerged from the dual crises of post-conflict trauma and climate vulnerability, committed to transforming adversity into agency. With 64% youth unemployment, 32% mental health challenges, and alarming rates of HIV/AIDS and maternal mortality among girls (UNFPA, 2021), Uganda’s next generation faces systemic barriers to opportunity. We respond with purpose, Humanity Horizons equips secondary school students with climate literacy, entrepreneurial mindsets, and inclusive leadership skills positioning them as agents of change. Our programs are anchored in evidence-based, community-driven approaches that address critical issues such as deforestation, waste management, and food insecurity. Through strategic partnerships with schools, communities, and government stakeholders, we co-create scalable, sustainable solutions aligned with the SDGs, Uganda’s Vision 2040, and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. Our flagship Annual Student Climate Summit amplifies youth voices, fosters innovation, and transforms classrooms into hubs of resilience and social enterprise. We invest in dignity, agency, and systems change—ensuring that young people are not just beneficiaries, but co-architects of a just, green, and inclusive future.

I am a molecular biologist by training, and over time my scientific background naturally expanded into science communication, where I focus on making complex ideas accessible and engaging—especially through climate science presentations and STEMM talks for students in schools and colleges. Alongside science, I am deeply passionate about social justice and the belief that environmental issues cannot be separated from equity, access, and community wellbeing. What draws me to the DEAL community is its ability to bring ecological and social justice together under one umbrella, offering a thoughtful framework for imagining and building a more just, sustainable world. DEAL resonates with me because it aligns with both how I understand science and how I want to contribute to society—by educating, engaging, and empowering the next generation to care for people and the planet together.

As a Strategist and Coach, I come alongside founders and to navigate with clarity, courage and intention. My work centres on championing leaders to live, lead and build well, shaping and that is healthy, and oriented towards long-term value and . Working globally, I am interested in how systems, tools and frameworks can be adapted in practice to support real transformation within complex organisational and social contexts. Within this learning community, I look forward to gaining practical approaches I can thoughtfully integrate into my work. As a practitioner working closely with people inside systems, to support both inner shifts in and external shifts affecting I am keen to participate in a like-minded community of practice, learning how others have adapted DEAL tools in their own fields, exchanging practical wisdom, and exploring how these approaches can support more and life-giving ways of living, leading and building enterprises.

Dear DEAL Community, Thank you for letting me be part of this community. I would love to work with you together in moving away from an ever growing economy that it's destroying our planet with all living being including us. I studied Engineering and an MBA. I have been working around 20 years in the medical device industry, which in my eyes is very meaningful but suffers also from the same problems our economy does. It's not sustainable and it has move away from being an industry that supports our medical systems to maintain human health, to become an industry that demands more and more diseased people to continue growing. I want to dedicate the rest of my working life to support an alternative economic system that is healthy for our descendants and the planet.

Welcome to the DEAL Community!
The DEAL Community is everyone who is exploring the ideas of Doughnut Economics and pioneering ways to put the ideas into practice.
This includes educators, policy makers, community members, business people, artists, academics, designers, young people, facilitators, oh, and the occasional economist.
We believe economies of the 21st century will be practiced first and theorised later, and we believe they will be put inspired by the creativity, imagination, skill and perspectives of everyone.
That means everyone is welcome!
What we offer is an open-source commons of inspiration and tools to apply to your context, some created by the DEAL Team, but mostly created by members of the DEAL Community.
