    Description

    Hi there, my name is Edrick . I am the Executive Director and Founder of
    a sustainable agri-food initiative. Located in the Kasese district in the Rwenzori region of Uganda, It is a community-based organization that is completely registered.

    I personally put a lot of effort into creating sustainable agrifood systems and empowering and educating smallholder farmers.

    I enjoy working with this community, as does the team that I lead. Fertile soils are found there. The weather is pleasant. They own the markets for their harvests. However, despite their current difficulties, they have become resilient enough to produce food that feeds a sizable portion of the nation's population.

    We are situated in the center of one of Uganda's most popular travel attractions. The Rwenzori Mountains National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park encircle us. We adore this location. You will also enjoy it.

    Our team is as follows;

Additionally, volunteers can learn about our distinctive way of life and take part in local farming activities.

    We are excited to impart our understanding of regional dialects, customary arts and crafts like basketry, and environmentally friendly farming methods. Volunteers can also learn about our history, mythology, and the Rwenzori region's rich cultural legacy.
