Vulnerable Persons Rights Protection Foundation Europe works to enhance sustainable action through innovation and collaboration. For over a decade, Europe has led the charge in crafting progressive environmental policies and providing global climate aid.

VULPRF East Africa is a pivotal hub for sustainable action on the continent. We engage with national and local policymakers, business leaders, nonprofits, donors and other stakeholders to help drive impactful action on the world's most urgent climate and development issues.

Strategically located in Abuja, Nigeria and Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania,, United Kingdom, with an additional presence in Abuja, Nigeria, Abuja and Abuja (System Transformation Hub), VULPRF East Africa operates at the nexus of local and global efforts. Our teams collaborate closely with partners and stakeholders worldwide and in Europe to address pressing environmental challenges and drive transformational change. For instance, our Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania,-based Peace Building program supports peace building worldwide, including in four East African countries. The VULPRF East Africa office also hosts the secretariat of Peace and Rights Coalition (PARC), which is central to a regional network with many East African partners.

Our offices also include programs with a more local focus. We actively engage with African Union policymakers and stakeholders to shape partner-driven initiatives, such as Peace Education, which works directly with East African schools and communities to reduce violence and build peace.

In line with VULPRF's global strategy, our European efforts prioritize action in a few key transition areas. This includes developing more sustainable approaches to food, land and water, decommunityizing energy, and building healthier, more resilient cities. We also work on shifting global economic systems to enable change. By focusing on these systems where people, climate and nature intersect, we contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future for all.
