Ecological Christian Organisation
What is ECO?
ECO Stands for Ecological Christian Organisation. It
is a non- government, non- profit-making organisation registered with the NGO. Board. ECO seeks to promote responsible environmental stewardship
in accordance with Christian principles. It highlights the environmental
dimension of the Christian traditions and helps individuals, groups,
orphanages, organisations and churches become more ecologically responsible and
works with people of other faiths and traditions in common effort to create a more sustainable society.
ECO calls on people of faith to respond to ecological destruction with
repentance and creativity. This is to express our responsibility for the care
of all things in the created universe that god has given to our trust.
Vision:
To see people of all faiths and traditions, become
responsible stewards of God’s creation and make choices which lead to improved
quality of life that are socially, economically and ecologically sustainable.
We are a non-profit organisation passionate about
God’s creation, orphanage support and working towards promoting responsible
environmental stewardship in accordance to Christian principles and the wise use of nature for quality life and sustainable
development.
Purpose:
What inspired the emergence of ECO was the increasing
environmental degradation in Uganda and the neighbouring countries, with rapid
deforestation, declining agricultural productivity, high number of Orphans,
malnutrition, starvation and hunger, inadequate energy supply, wide-spread and
worsening poverty, water and health insecurity, increasing human population and
disappearance of several species of trees, birds and animals.
Key Strategies:
ECO’s key strategies are Christianity and the
environment, orphanage support, environmental education, forestation and
Agro-forestry, natural disaster relief, sustainable energy and vulnerable
groups and the environment, gender and environment.
