Oil Refinery Residents Association | Youth for Green Communities

Driven by their desire to address social injustices in Uganda, the Oil Refinery Residents Association (ORRA) together with the Youth for Green Communities (YGC) set out to empower local communities impacted by the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). Through CRE support, the organizations were able to link oil-impacted Indigenous communities, raising awareness about their rights and strengthen participatory advocacy action. They amplified local voices through social media, provided legal support, and shared strategies with other human rights defenders worldwide.
