Great Lakes Life Saving Society

Great Lake Life Saving Society is a Uganda-based nonprofit dedicated to preventing drowning through training, education, and community outreach.

Welcome to Great Lake Life Saving Society

At Great Lake Life Saving Society, we believe that every life matters and every drowning is preventable. Since 2016, we’ve been working passionately to promote water safety, rescue training, and emergency response across Uganda.

From local lakeshores to schools, from community centers to corporate teams, we equip people with the knowledge and skills to stay safe in, on, and around water. Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, a lifeguard, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, you’re in the right place.

🌊 Together, we can create a water-safe Uganda.
Welcome and thank you for being part of the mission.

Some of our programs

CPR and First Aid Training

CPR and First Aid Training equips individuals and organizations with the critical skills needed to respond confidently and effectively during medical emergencies. From minor injuries to life-threatening conditions, knowing what to do in the first few minutes can make all the difference.

Learn To Swim

Swimming is more than just a fun activity—it’s a life-saving skill that everyone, regardless of age, can learn. In Uganda, where water-related accidents are too common, learning to swim and self-rescue can be the difference between life and death.

Lifeguard Training

Become a certified lifeguard and take the first step towards an exciting, rewarding career in water safety. Our comprehensive Lifeguard Certification Course is designed to equip you with the skills, confidence, and knowledge to handle emergency situations in and around water — and make a difference in your community.

Aqua Guardians

The Junior Water Safety Program is a dynamic initiative designed to educate and empower children across schools and communities about the importance of staying safe in and around water. Through engaging, age-appropriate sessions, this program raises awareness, builds confidence, and introduces essential safety practices that can help prevent water-related accidents.

Cabin Crew Ditching Training

Aviation emergencies require speed, strength, and confidence. Our specialized ditching and emergency water landing training equips cabin crew and flight attendants with the critical skills they need to lead and survive in water-related crises.

Build Stronger Teams. Inspire Greater Results. At Great Lakes Life Saving Society, we help organizations turn coworkers into cohesive, high-performing teams through dynamic, customized team building experiences.
