At Global Refugee Initiatives (GRI), we are dedicated to improving the lives of refugee communities by supporting them in vegetable production. We are proud to support over 100 refugee farmers in growing nutritious vegetables like Sukuma wiki, green pepper, onions, cabbage, spinach, and okra.

These vegetables are sold locally within the settlement to other refugees, and some are bought by traders from the Bweyale market (A market close to Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement). This generates vital income to support their household needs.

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with FAO, which has facilitated the construction of our second irrigation solar system. This innovative system enables our farmer groups to engage in block farming, producing vegetables and passion fruits even during the dry season.

Together, we are making a difference and empowering our communities to thrive! 💪🌍🌿
