Help a refugee household in Nakivale build a regenerative PermaGarden that feeds them through every season.
When the World Food Programme cut rations to zero, families in Nakivale Refugee Settlement lost their safety net overnight. For people already surviving on the edge, hunger became both a nutritional crisis and an economic one pulling children out of school and deepening poverty.
Kura!!!Kura!!! offers a lasting answer: regenerative agriculture that turns a small household plot into a biodiverse food forest. Built on the proven Resilience Design methodology already transforming lives in the Palabek settlement each garden is designed specifically for Nakivale's land, sun, and rainfall.
Unlike a traditional kitchen garden that needs constant watering and dies in a drought, a Kura!!!Kura!!! garden harvests and banks rainwater, rebuilds soil through double-dug beds and natural fertilizers, and layers trees, perennials, and crops that produce food and income all year long. Families are trained and mentored by certified permaculture leaders drawn from the refugee community itself, so the knowledge stays and spreads.
The goal is ambitious and clear: bring this methodology to every household in Nakivale replacing dependence on vanishing aid with self-reliant, climate-resilient food security.
