A journey of transformation, resilience, and hope since 2018.
Unidos nominated for the prestigious Earthshot Prize by The Royal Foundation - one of few nominees from Africa, recognizing our environmental impact.
Won £25,000 for our REGESOIL project - selected from 174 entries worldwide. The prize recognized how we improve soil productivity and provide life-saving nutrition.
Paulinho Muzaliwa received this prestigious award from USA for UNHCR for "visionary leadership and extraordinary dedication to helping people forcibly displaced."
Successfully completed our Regenerate the Soil project funded by UNHCR Refugee-led Innovation Fund. Trained 501 farmers, established 4 food forest demonstration sites on 15 acres.
Our first cohort of 15 women - the "Eagles Power" group led by Furaha Bahati - celebrated their first bountiful mushroom harvest after intensive training.
Represented alongside OPM, UNHCR, and NGOs. Showcased organic products: vermicompost, moringa soap, shower jelly, and mushrooms - all made by refugee women.
Recognized for our regenerative agriculture work at Nakivale. Nearly 1,000 refugees from Somalia, Congo, and Burundi graduated as ecological farmers.
Built large-scale worm compost system processing 800kg-1 ton of food waste weekly. Transforming organic waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer for refugee farmers.
Featured in UNHCR's 2023 Climate Change and Forced Displacement report as a case study of refugees spearheading climate resilience solutions.
Won our first major award, affirming that combining permaculture with community empowerment truly works. Provided seed funding and mentorship to expand programs.
Launched moringa soap micro-business. Women grow moringa trees, process leaves into natural soap, and sell products for income - building confidence and independence.
Established multiple food forests promoting biodiversity. Introduced drought-resistant plantings that restore soil health and provide food even as climate change makes farming harder.
Began collaboration with Defiants to build a digital education center. Introduced web3 skills training and connected refugees to the global digital economy.
During the pandemic lockdown, expanded our permaculture garden. What started as a response to crisis became a movement - training thousands in sustainable farming.
When food rations were cut to 40%, Paulinho Muzaliwa and fellow refugees founded Unidos. Built on a simple idea: by sharing knowledge and skills, we can grow our own food, create our own jobs, and restore our environment.
Help us write the next chapter of transformation and hope.
