Men’s Action Group
Most men living in the Mungula and Oula refugee settlements are unemployed. In South Sudan, most men were cattle herders. Raising cattle was a vital part of life in South Sudan, both economically and culturally. In refugee settlements in Uganda, people seldom have the opportunity to own livestock. SSLCD has partnered with men in Mungula and Oula refugee settlements to begin a cattle co-operative, called Men’s Action Group.
Cattle raising allows men to take action in their daily life, and regain a sense of purpose and meaning in their families and communities.
