How to be a refugee, with mushrooms & Rwamwanja Rural Foundation
<p>Today I'm chatting with Bemeriki Bisimwa Dusabe, Founder and Director of Rwamwanja Rural Foundation in southwestern Uganda’s Rwamwanja refugee settlement: home to ≈92 thousand refugees, most fleeing a decades-long conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo.</p><p>Rwamwanja Rural Foundation (RRF) is a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rrfug.org/">refugee-led non profit organisation</a>, established to empower young people living with refugee status to fulfil their potential and transform their lives. </p><p>They do this via permaculture and mushroom farming.</p><p>RRF’s aim is “to ensure these communities can restore local ecosystems, increasing climate resilience and biodiversity, while benefiting from regenerative agriculture activities that improve access to nutritious food. It brings together permaculture, Indigenous farming techniques, local languages as well as modern, affordable and easily accessible digital technologies to enhance reach and overall impact.”</p><p>This conversation happened during a mushroom-fuelled Uganda-Kenya roadtrip in October 2023, before Bemeriki showed us his permaculture garden and upcoming learning centre. More details in a full article (with pics!) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.runningwithmushrooms.com/p/mushrooms-and-refugees">at this link here.</a></p><p><strong>We discuss:</strong></p><p>* The refugee experience, particularly for those with refugee status from DRC living in Uganda</p><p>* Permaculture practice and creating self-sustaining farming systems</p><p>* How oyster mushroom farming is helping to build self-sufficiency and resilience for people living with refugee status</p><p>* Why mushrooms work so well within the refugee context, for income generation and food security</p><p>* Grappling with identity and multi-nationalism as a person living in a new land with language and cultural differences</p><p>* Refugee as a status, not an identity, and integration with a host community</p><p>* And more.</p><p>Just a note: In this episode, we discuss themes that some might find distressing, such as the refugee experience, war crimes and child orphans.</p><p><strong>Please consider supporting the work of Rwamwanja Rural Foundation by:</strong></p><p>* <strong>Donation –</strong> Via <a target="_blank" href="https://www.rrfug.org/">Rwamwanja Rural Foundation’s website</a>, you can donate towards a specific part of the foundation that interests you (e.g. transportation of waste materials to mushroom production site, or post-harvest handling and processing).</p><p>* <strong>Volunteering - </strong>Spend time contributing to build RRF’s permaculture learning centre and engaging in knowledge & skills exchange.
