Over the weekend, our team took part in the Run For The Nile Marathon held in Jinja City, bringing together environmental advocates, community members, and partners in a collective effort to protect the River Nile and Lake Victoria.

Organised by the Rotary Club of Jinja, the 4th edition of the marathon brought together more than 2000 runners participating in the 21km, 10km, and 5km race categories. This year’s run was focused on raising funds to support the replanting of approximately 247 acres (approximately 100 hectares) of the degraded Mayuge forest and expanding the installation of plastic trap gates across key drainage channels in Kampala and Jinja that feed into Lake Victoria and the River Nile.

Speaking at the event, Njuki Emmanuel, our Legal and Corporate Affairs Lead, emphasised our long-term commitment to water sustainability. “Water is the number one ingredient in our beers and a shared resource for the communities we serve. Supporting the Run for the Nile is a natural extension of our commitment to being responsible stewards of the environment,” said Njuki
“From improving water efficiency within our breweries to supporting nature-based solutions like these forest restorations, we believe that collective action is the only way to secure these water sources for future generations.” He added

We are grateful to everyone who joined us to support this environmental cause. Together, every step counts toward a more sustainable future.
