CRESS supports South Sudanese Refugees in Rural Northern Uganda through our delivery partners based in Arua. We have established 62 Savings Groups, 24 of which are trained in sustainable agricultural techniques. We want to raise funds to buy tools so the others can benefit from agricultural training

Situation
Most of the refugee community in which CRESS works, lives under the $2 a day mark. Many families just eat one simple innutritious meal a day of maize meaning they are hungry and poor nutrition leaves them vulnerable to illness. For those in refugee camps, the UN World Food Programme has announced it will have no choice but to make further food ration cuts soon for refugees which adds to their pressures. It is not safe for them to return to South Sudan.
Solution
CRESS trained 24 agriculture groups (320 members + 76 pastors) in sustainable organic veg and fruit production and small business development 2021. Their gardens are flourishing but we can do more. We hope to fund tools, training, tree seedlings and seeds for more of our 62 Savings Groups so that they too can successfully grow nutritious food for their families and to sell to raise income for their other needs.
