Newly arrived Sudanese refugees are embracing commercial agriculture through passion fruit farming, thanks to GRI’s mindset change training sessions in Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement. 

In response to the call for community-driven farming, eight Sudanese farmer groups, each with 15-20 members, requested land for commercial agriculture. GRI’s livelihoods team has since trained these groups’ leaders on passion fruit nursery bed setup, covering both theory and hands-on seed preparation and planting.

These farmer groups have been allocated land in our Block Farm (Cluster C), where an adequate water supply will support irrigation through the upcoming dry season. Passion fruits are widely enjoyed in Kiryandongo and beyond, often used to make juice for schools, homes, and local businesses.
