Your Support Secures Land Rights and Protects Communities

Our work prevents families – particularly women – from being evicted or forced out of their homes and land. By supporting formal land rights, families are able to protect their livelihoods, decrease conflict, and protect the environment, all critical to reducing dependency on outside support.

The international development community is facing an unprecedented threat to its global life-saving work.

Now, more than ever, we must stand together. Join us in ensuring that communities continue to secure their land rights and livelihoods.

“With the help of data gathered under the project with Waatavaran and Cadasta, our community filed an appeal of claims. After appealing claims we attended two meetings with the SDLC, so this time we are very sure that we will get land entitlement.”

Testimonials
  • “It is good technology, it manages to bring good awareness to the people. When the certificates come out, it will bring confidence and people will be aware of their rights. Working in this department, we can also use the data for guidance. It will allow us to map and manage our wetlands and forests. In three years time, we will be able to assess sites and conditions to determine if there has been regeneration or restoration.”

  • “Whoever has invented Cadasta has been a huge help. A lot of people from our side are not educated. But with this, people are able to calculate easily without much work. It takes less time and does more work. The accuracy of my work has increased a lot… The efficiency of my work has increased. My interest in helping people has also increased.”

  • “I am so grateful for Cadasta and the Ministry of Lands for the great work done in our community. There has been so much joy in the community because of your work, we did not know that this process could be so simple and yet yield results.”

    former Chairman of the Land Committee at Ivukula sub-county, Uganda
  • “I can say the tools have been of great importance because really it has sped up the exercise. To measure almost 20 to 68 using a meter, it would have taken a very long time. But in the case of the software and the tools, just put your data point, move the data point. Some things you would have taken the whole day can just be done in just an instant.”

    Gerald Tumwesige
    Community Data Collector, Buliisa, Uganda
  • “I thank Cadasta in a special way for helping us acquire our land titles for barely any cost. When this process had just started, we thought it was a scam but then we got our land titles and they verified as legitimate, we are so grateful for this gift. Thank you very much.”
