Across the world, landscapes are drying out as soils lose their ability to absorb and hold water. The Global Water Cup teams up with communities through a gamified challenge to rehydrate landscapes and rebuild natural water retention, reducing heat, erosion and water stress while strengthening biodiversity.

I’m Dr. Alex Mukibi, originally from a remote village in central Uganda, and trained in soil and water conservation (PhD, Soil Science). Today, I support the Global Water Cup on the Ground by identifying participating communities, coordinating local partners, and organizing trainings that turn restoration knowledge into practical action.
