Unidos Social Innovation Center

We are a collective of refugees living in Uganda, Nakivale Refugee Camp, home to over 200,000 people, from Congo, Burundi, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Sudan. Since 2018, we have united to combat hunger caused by declining humanitarian aid and to build sustainable livelihoods through regenerative solutions. Our mission is to empower refugees by providing inclusive education, socioeconomic opportunities, and essential skills for self-sufficiency. We equip our community with the knowledge and tools to thrive, fostering an environment where growth, self-reliance, and resilience are possible. Beyond education, we focus on sustainability through hands-on training in permagarden, soil regeneration, vermicomposting, and food forest. These initiatives restore the land, improve food security, and create a self-sustaining community. Our holistic approach addresses food security but also builds climate resilience, reducing dependency on external aid
