01 / Sango Information Hub

We care about Lake Victoria.

We have established a very solid stakeholder engagement, community involvement and information gathering network through outreaches, promotional activities and content tapping and dissemination strategies.

The basin is a living system

What happens here reaches far beyond the shoreline.

Lake Victoria is a source of food, livelihoods, memory and movement for millions of people. Its rivers, wetlands and communities are connected—and the information that helps protect them should be connected too.

Sango Information Hub works across counties to turn local knowledge and environmental reporting into a public resource. We listen, investigate, map and share what matters.

02 / Community

The work begins with people.

The basin is not an abstract geography. It is the farmer, fisher, correspondent, youth group and neighbour whose daily choices shape its future.

Through local outreach, story-gathering, and community forums across Kisumu, Homa Bay, Siaya, and Busia, we build lasting local engagement.
