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.

 

Mission:

 

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.
