I am Masereka Kikumbwa Godfrey, a Ugandan male, aged 38, Mukonjo by tribe and married with two children. I am a social worker by profession with seven years experience in catchment management interventions or practices for Mubuku-Nyamwamba rivers, restoration of degraded hot-spot areas within the communities surrounding the Rwenzori Mountains National Park and a human rights advocate.
I have been piloting a number of interventions focused towards restoration of the Mubuku-Nyamwamba river banks in the lower Mubuku-Nyamwamba catchment.The river bank stretches 14 KM on the Ugandan side in Kasese District .During this period, I have been working through community based structures resulting into 3.2 KM of the buffer zone established and the river bank stabilized.
I was awarded the Social Innovator Program award that was held in Lagos-Nigeria in 2022 organized by LEAP Africa.
