Farmers in Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement have started harvesting oyster mushrooms and selling them in local markets after taking part in hands-on training organised by Global Refugee Initiatives (GRI).

The training brought together 25 participants from two community groups, including Sudanese refugees who recently arrived in the settlement. Participants learned how to prepare growing materials, care for their mushrooms, and harvest and handle them for sale.

“Some of the Sudanese families who recently arrived are already part of the project,” said Maya, GRI’s Programmes Assistant for Livelihoods. “It’s been exciting to see them get involved, and now that the first mushrooms are reaching local markets, others are asking how they can join.”
