Agricultural Co-Operative

Community gardens have been established in Mungula and Oula refugee settlements. Communities work together to plant crops that provide much needed food in the face of severe cutbacks in the allotments received from the World Food Program.   Food deliveries from the World Food Program have already been cut by half, with no assurance that even this minimal level will be maintained. 

SSLCD has provided additional funds for land rent, so that the refugees have been able to double the land under cultivation with nutritious vegetables. 

A portion of the new gardens have been assigned to pregnant women to improve their diets.  As crops are harvested, additional funds will be provided to enable preservation and storage of crops. .
