Agriculture & Food Sustainability Initiative

In 2023, significant United Nations funding cuts led to reduced—and in some cases completely eliminated—food distributions for refugees in the Bidi Bidi refugee settlement, leaving many families facing severe food shortages. While land has been allocated for farming, it is located nearly 10 miles from the camp and is difficult and costly for vulnerable refugees to access. Due to heavy overgrowth of tall trees and dense bushes, single mothers and widows are unable to clear the farmland on their own.

In response, Ebenezer Global Hub launched an agricultural initiative that provides a sustainable solution to this crisis—especially for single mothers and widows—by clearing farmland, supplying essential tools and seeds, and providing transportation to and from the fields. This enables refugees to grow their own food, move beyond aid dependence, and rebuild dignified, self-reliant lives.
