Lake Victoria: The voices of Buzegwe community speak to you

Fishing communities around Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake, rely on its waters for survival. But with this dependence comes danger: drowning is a leading cause of death in the region. Contributing factors include unpredictable weather, lack of lifeboats, poor-quality equipment, and limited access to safety training. In response, RNLI and EMEDO launched a drowning prevention initiative, equipping local fishers with vital knowledge and safety gear. Community members learned how to assess boat and weather conditions, avoid fishing at night, and understand the dangers of drunk sailing. Appropriate boat manufacturing takes place and repairs are carried out routinely now. This participatory video shares firsthand stories from the people of Buzeegwe village in Ukerewe District, highlighting the real impact and ongoing challenges of improving water safety on Lake Victoria.
