In the refugee camps, rations are being cut to nearly nothing, making sustainable agriculture essential for food security. One of these refugees, Nathan*, completed our agriculture course in 2022. He then started his own farm along one of the rivers in Rhino Refugee Camp. Using the modern farming skills and techniques acquired during his training, he transformed a small piece of land into a productive and profitable farm. The practical skills he learned—such as proper spacing, soil management, irrigation, and crop care—have enabled him to maximize production throughout the seasons. His farm is not only a source of income but also a model within the community. Others are beginning to learn from his practices, multiplying the impact of the training beyond one household.

“I have four of my own children and 13 others I take care of. That is a total of 17 people who depend on me every day. Through agriculture, I am now able to care for all of them.”
