Car washing in Lake Victoria is unsightly in many towns and cities like Kampala, Kisumu and Mwanza. This illegal activity goes on unabated despite the presence of institutions, policies and laws that ought to deter it. This has resulted in release of waste water that affect water quality, fish breeding, and contributes to eutrophication of our water bodies. This MUST change in 2015.

Join the East Africa Sustainability Watch Network petition to put pressure on NEMA (Uganda), NEMA (Kenya), the National Environment Management Council (Tanzania), the Lake Victoria Basin Commission, city and town authorities as well as other Local authorities around Lake Victoria to make a difference for the health of our heritage by acting on those that are abusing the established laws and policies! Your support will make a real difference to the health of the 30 million dependants to day as well as future generations to come as well as the restoring the deteriorating environmental situation of this transboundary Lake

Despite several threats (for example in 2012, NEMA Kenya barred car washing in the Lake), the seemingly small sclae practice is cummulatively going on unabated, threatening livelihoods (pollution of water supply, destruction of fish breeding sites, destruction of wetlands among others)
