Kamuli in Eastern Uganda suffers from entrenched poverty and vulnerability with women, people with disabilities, orphans and other children being isolated within their community. Many families work as out-growers for the local sugar processing plant but this is unprofitable and depletes soil fertility. As a result the area has low agricultural productivity, the land is not used for growing nutritious food and families are trapped in poverty and hunger with no sustainable livelihood.

Vulnerable households will receive support so they are no longer isolated and can see the potential of their land. Training in sustainable agriculture will enable them to use their land to grow vegetables and other food crops to eat and sell instead of only growing sugarcane. They will be provided with a variety of improved vegetable seeds and starter kits for growing high value ginger, onions and garlic crops and training in small businesses will create profitable livelihoods from their land.
