Provide Farming Tool to Refugee Youths for $10

Ali is a disabled young refugee from South Sudan who came to Uganda in 2016 and is currently living with his old mother at Boroli 1 Refugee settlement of Adjumani. Despite being disabled, illiterate without any source of livelihood, Ali has been the care taker of his aged mother who Is too weak to support Ali any way. Because of their condition, Ali and his mother have entirely been depending on humanitarian aid. Besides being disabled, Ali also suffered from Epilepsy and mental disorder in which is slowly recovering. He says the stress of having nothing to eat and meet other needs sometimes worsens his mental health state.

 Ali was one of the 130 recent beneficiaries of the Vegetable project in January 2024 where he received an assortment of farming tools and vegetable seeds that included a hoe, panga, watering can, pair of Gumboots, Cow Pease (Locally Osobi) and Collard Greens (locally called Sukuma wiki) seeds.

 When we recently visited Ali, he was already harvesting his vegetables and said ''we have been saved from hunger, now we are no longer worried where our next meal will come from because I just go to the garden  pick my vegetables and cook. I sell some that Is helping us buy posho and other basic needs. Even my health situation Is getting better, I was dieing of stress but now I am happy and my mother is getting also strong''.

 Ali now says they can afford to eat at least two meals a day which was never the case before this project where sometimes getting what to eat was a miracle to them.
