Farmers in Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement have embraced the new Pass on Seed Scheme introduced by Global Refugee Initiatives (GRI) to boost crop production and strengthen community bonds. Under the scheme, four farmer groups received legume seeds with a pledge to pass on the same quantity to other groups after harvest.
“We believe in building a culture of giving and resilience,” said a project coordinator. The initiative promotes self-reliance, food security and community solidarity as farmers share seeds, skills and knowledge. Beneficiaries have welcomed the project, noting that growing legumes has improved soil fertility, increased harvests and enhanced household nutrition.
Through the Pass on Seed Scheme, GRI continues to promote sustainable farming practices that build stronger, more united communities.
