"Be the Change You Want to See"– The Journey of Obuntu bwa Casalina
In 2019, I faced one of the toughest times of my life. Losing my father, my greatest champion, just as the world shut down due to COVID-19, left me in a whirlwind of emotions and uncertainty. But in the midst of it all, a spark ignited. With the support of the National Social Security Fund’s Hi-innovator Accelerator and a drive to honor my values, I decided to take action.
💡 The Vision: Uganda’s rich and fertile land is a gift. My mission has always been to embrace this abundance by creating food forests—working with nature to create sustainable, regenerative systems. These forests not only provide organic food but also premium, value-added products, empowering marginalized communities in Uganda to thrive.
🌍 The Turning Point: Armed with this vision, I pitched my idea to Uganda, aiming to transform the lives of refugees and underserved communities in western Uganda. Divine timing led me to the Foundation fellowship through , which provided the tools I needed to bring this vision to life.
✨ The Journey Begins: Today, this dream is a reality. Hundreds of lives are being impacted through our food forests and sustainable practices. We are creating value chains that connect the land, people, and market in ways that uplift and inspire. This is just the beginning.
