Amsha Community Project

The Amsha Community Project aims to establish a vibrant green space within Nakivale and the neighbourhood, promoting sustainable practices and fostering community engagement. This initiative addresses food insecurity, enhances local biodiversity, and provides a hub for educational and recreational activities for the multiple ethnicities within Nakivale.

The communal gardens featured raised beds, composting areas, a communal gathering space, facilities for educational workshops and support with agro-inputs to 500 refugee households and 100 Ugandan Nationals - especially teenage mothers, widows and single-parent-headed families - in 24 of the most vulnerable communities across Nakivale who were interested in gardening, sustainability, and community-building.

The Objectives are to:

  • Encourage active participation through gardening, workshops, and events that strengthen social bonds,

  • Provide opportunities for learning about organic gardening, composting, and environmental stewardship,

  • Grow fresh produce that supplements local diets and supports healthier eating habits, and

  • Promote water conservation, organic practices, and biodiversity within a rural setting.
