Rural Environmental Sustainability Initiative (RESI) is a nonprofit organization that works with underserved rural people to improve their lives by promoting clean technologies in energy, water, and sustainable food production as well as environmental sustainability and climate literacy. They are being supported in growing their enterprise through the 2018 Africa Changemakers Fellowship and SWITCH Africa Green, pushing RESI to become a leading innovator and implementer of sustainable economic, social, and environmental practices in the rural communities of Uganda.

In Uganda, the majority of families use kerosene to light their homes at night, and 90% of households cook with firewood and charcoal, placing children and their families at risk of illness and putting additional strain on the ecosystem. According to statistics, in developing countries like Uganda, where women spend an average of 7 hours a day cooking meals with firewood and therefore, a significant amount of time at home with kerosene, two-thirds of adult females with lung cancer are non-smokers. The implications of such energy practices cannot be overlooked, ranging from other respiratory diseases like tuberculosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to cataracts, cardiovascular complications, low birth weight, and mortality in both adults and infants. Furthermore, these activities are leading to a 100,000-hectare decline in forest cover each year.

 The Tomorrow Fellows Program is guiding RESI to become a key participant and facilitator of sustainable economic, social, and environmental practices in Uganda's rural communities, using a bottom-up approach that emphasizes grassroots activation about climate change and environmental degradation. The organisation emphasises raising awareness and educating the local people. They are developing a project of implementing biogas from organic waste as an alternative to unsustainable energy sources for Ugandans. 

 The organisation has already contributed to building environmental literacy, establishing safer and cleaner energy solutions for Ugandans. They are supported by SWITCH Africa Green and 2018 Africa Changemakers Fellowship, but still in need of funding for scaling up their operations and projects.
