Sail Lake Victoria
Building on the momentum of the past three years, we now seek to extend our efforts to the benefit the wider Lake Victoria community. The lake has suffered chronic challenges for many decades now, and it will take many more to recover its true potential. This expedition, to take place in 2025, will be part of our 30 year plan to bring in the expertise and investment local industry and agriculture so badly need to act sustainably.
​
We are building an alliance of researchers, NGOs, funders and local communities to sail around the lake, conduct vital research, and document our progress. We will then take the true story of Lake Victoria's vibrant future to audiences across Africa, Europe and the US.
​
Local communities are at the heart of this project and will be represented by partners from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, so that over the coming 30 years the lake remains central to the health and wellbeing to all it serves.
