VIVA! UGANDA

Viva! Uganda is passionate about advocating for LIFE. Viva! means ‘long live!’
and is a celebratory expression all over the world, meaning “Have a good long
life”. And that is what we want for people and animals alike. Of course, for us
all to have a good long life, we need a healthy planet!

Viva! Uganda’s call is Be Kind to All Kind.

We explore the consequences of what we eat – on farmed and wild animals, on our
planet and on us. 

We help people change their diet to plant-based to be kind to all kind. Viva!
supports compassionate education of children, women’s empowerment and the
sustainable growing of plant foods.

We campaign against animal cruelty and encourage respect for life. 

Viva! also campaigns to protect our home, planet Earth. And we run projects to
help people eat well with delicious plant-based foods.

Viva! was first founded in the UK in 1994, and subsequently in Uganda and
Poland, and we are now a movement of people working together for more than 30
years creating a humane and more sustainable world for people and all animals.

CHEEKY CHIMPANZEES

Did you know?… Chimps, gorillas, bonobos and orangutans all love to make a
monkey out of each other! They tickle and poke each other for fun. They also
steal from each other just to playfully tease. Their sense of humour shows how
smart they are. They also laugh when they are tickled, or when they wrestle and
play-chase. Chimpanzees can make silent ‘laugh faces’ just like humans. Read

 * BABOON (OLIVE)
   
   There are five species of baboons and they all live in Africa – olive,
   yellow, chacma, Guinea and sacred.


 * HIPPOPOTAMUS
   
   There are 115,000-130,000 hippos left in Africa but their numbers are

 * PANGOLIN (GIANT)
   
   Pangolins are truly unique animals, and rank among the likes of the
   duck-billed platypus for their peculiar appearance.


 * WARTHOG
   
   Warthogs get their name from three wart-like bumps on their head which are
   actually fatty lumps that protect them during fights.

LOVE HEART!

“Did you know?… One in four adults in Uganda have high blood pressure
(hypertension) but most people are  are unaware of it? If left untreated, high
blood pressure increases the risk of a heart attack or stroke. What you eat
plays a big part in having high blood pressure. Scientists advise avoiding meat,
high fat dairy, and salt. To protect your heart they advise eating lots of:

 * Fruits – eg bananas, oranges, apples, mangos, pineapples etc
 * Vegetables – eg broccoli, kale, spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, tomatoes,
   squash and corn
 * Wholegrains – eg brown rice, wholewheat bread, millet, barley, buckwheat and
   quinoa
 * Pulses (peas, all types of beans and lentils) – eg no added salt kidney
   beans, pinto beans, lentils, black-eyed peas, chickpeas
 * Nuts and seeds – although relatively high in fat, nuts contain the healthier
   unsaturated fats and a small handful of nuts a day can help protect heart
   health.

Plant-based diets are linked to lower blood pressure and overall better heart
health outcomes compared with animal-based diets. Read more…
