Empowering lives through permaculture 🌱✨ Our food forest initiatives have directly and indirectly impacted over 400 people, fostering economic growth and social cohesion in the refugee settlement. By restoring degraded land, we’ve enabled families to grow their own food, reducing dependency while creating sustainable livelihoods. This regenerative approach not only enhances food security but also strengthens community bonds, providing a pathway toward resilience and prosperity. Together, we’re building more than forests,we’re cultivating hope and opportunity. #PermacultureImpact #FoodForest #EconomicEmpowerment #SocialCohesion

In Nakivale Refugee Settlement, a place where more than 200000 families are hosted by the Uganda Government, 85% rely on agriculture for livelihoods, but still climate change makes all farmers' efforts in vain The good news is that we’re advancing #climate justice by teaching refugees how to co-create food forests that heal the earth and uplift communities. 🌳✨ These forests transform degraded land into thriving ecosystems, mitigate climate change, and provide sustainable food sources. This isn’t just about planting trees it’s about addressing inequality by equipping refugees with the skills and tools to restore the land they live on while building climate resilience for future generations. Together, we’re turning environmental challenges into opportunities for justice and hope. 🌾💚 #ClimateJustice #FoodForests #LandRestoration #RefugeeEmpowerment #SustainableAgriculture #NakivaleImpact

Progress Update: Empowering Refugee Farmers with Mushroom Cultivation 🍄 We are excited to share the progress of our collaboration with Re-Alliance and mycorama in supporting the #Minaki Mushroom Project in Nakivale Refugee Settlement. Together, we have developed an illustrated guide 📖 designed to help refugee farmers cultivate mushrooms, offering a sustainable solution to tackle malnutrition 🍽️ and food insecurity 🌾. This initiative not only addresses critical nutritional needs but also enables farmers to generate income 💰, improving livelihoods and resilience 💪 in the face of displacement. Why Mushroom Cultivation? Nutritional Benefits: 🍄 Mushrooms are rich in essential vitamins and minerals, providing a key source of nutrition for communities facing food insecurity. Income Generation: 💵 By empowering refugee farmers to grow and sell mushrooms, we are creating economic opportunities that can help reduce poverty and increase financial stability. Sustainable Agriculture: 🌍 Mushroom cultivation can be done using locally available materials, making it a low-cost and environmentally friendly farming method that promotes self-reliance. 📢 Call to Action We invite you to explore the illustrated guide and learn how mushroom farming can transform refugee communities. Whether you're a farmer, humanitarian worker, or simply interested in sustainable solutions, this guide is a valuable resource for all. ⬇️ Download the link here https://lnkd.in/dTZtrJXc Join us in empowering communities through innovative agriculture 🚜, and be a part of this impactful journey!
