What a great week of co-creation it was. LEAD Uganda project provides a good case study for "equitable partnership". As Hamiza Development Foundation, this is the partnership we strive for.

Appreciation to Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and to Woord en Daad for the support.

Last Friday, we concluded our week-long co-creation workshop with all our incredible partners — and what a journey it has been!

Over the past few days, we came together to share insights, challenge assumptions, and collaboratively design solutions that truly respond to the needs of the refugees and host communities we serve. Through open dialogue, creative thinking, and collective commitment, we strengthened our shared vision of inclusion, resilience, and self-reliance.

These partnerships are more than collaboration — they are a testament to the power of co-creation in driving impact that lasts. By working side by side, we ensure that our programs remain locally grounded, innovative, and sustainable — empowering communities to shape their own futures.

A huge thank you to all our partners, facilitators, and participants for your energy, insights, and dedication throughout the week. Together, we’re not just designing projects — we’re co-creating change. 🌍💪

In the urban setting of Kyaka II settlement,limited access to land for farming posses a significant challenge to food security and nutrition among the refugees and the host community households .

To address this challenge, Hamiza Development Foundation (HDF) with support from Woord en Daad under the LEAD Uganda Project funded by MOFA are deteremined to improve the status quo of the livelihoods of the households in these urban refugee communities by encouraging them to grow high value foods and vegetables using readily available resources like used water bottles, polythene bags, buckets, timber among others.

This method of farming is affordable and addresses the land issue, and is not affected by the diverse effects of Climate Change,since farmers are encouraged to water their plants. For full engagement/participation of the entire household,children are encouraged to water and also grow their own vegetables in such manner.

The farmers in Bukere Zone received farm inputs and PPE to encourage them farm climate smart.

HDF thanks the Office of the Prime Minister in Kyaka II settlement for the great work done in the community and for all the support offered to the LEAD Partners in Kyaka II.
