GreenFaith Africa brings together Christians, Muslims, those with traditional African beliefs, Hindus and others for climate justice. We began work in 2018 and our team members are based in the DRC, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
In East Africa, we are campaigning to stop the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Ghana, we are opposing new oil and gas expansion. In Nigeria and across the continent, we are building relationships with grassroots people of diverse faiths.
