2-week training program in permaculture design, food forest establishment, and worm composting. Core component of our award-winning REGESOIL program (UNHCR Refugee-led Innovation Fund 2022).
We have trained nearly 700 women with entrepreneurial skills and are helping them play active roles in greening the settlement by planting moringa and other fruit trees while building small businesses.
Women use moringa tree leaves to make organic and liquid soaps, enabling them to generate sustainable incomes. In combination with teaching soap making, we also offer business training and networking opportunities.
Regenerative agriculture is a holistic approach where we involve all the elements to reach the optimum impact, which means activating the farmers while teaching them how to regenerate the soil.
For decades, people have been using chemical fertilizers, harming the soil and people's health. We believe that with worm compost, biochar, and diverse planting, we can regenerate soils, improving water conservation, remineralization, soil structure, and microlife, while inspiring optimism and hope.
We are shifting from dependency on organizations like the World Food Program by taking care of the soil through organic amendments and planting trees to mitigate micro-climate changes.
