The Rwamanja Rural Foundation is empowering refugees in Bidi Bidi by promoting mushroom cultivation as a sustainable livelihood. This initiative provides refugees with a steady income through the sale of mushrooms, offering an alternative to traditional farming in limited spaces. In terms of nutrition, mushrooms are a rich source of protein and essential vitamins, improving the refugees’ diets. By learning mushroom farming, refugees gain skills that contribute to self-reliance, reducing dependency on aid. Additionally, cultivating mushrooms helps improve health by providing access to fresh, nutritious food, contributing to better overall well-being in the refugee community
