In Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement, a Sudanese refugee is transforming agricultural skills into a sustainable livelihood after receiving passion fruit production training and seedlings from the GRI Field Livelihoods Team.

Following the training, he began producing fresh mixed-fruit juice using passion fruits, avocados, oranges, and bananas. His natural juice quickly gained popularity within the community and sells at UGX 2,000 per glass.

“The training helped me realize I could add value to the fruits I grow. Juice making has changed my life,” he shares.

The business now generates a steady daily income, enabling him to meet household needs and reinvest in his enterprise. He adds, “Every glass I sell supports my family. I feel proud and confident.”

His journey is inspiring fellow refugees, particularly young women and men, to explore value addition and small-scale business opportunities within the settlement.

This story highlights how targeted livelihood interventions are strengthening self-reliance and economic resilience among refugees.
