LIVE IN GREEN continues promoting environmental conservation in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement through agroforestry, restoration, and climate-smart agriculture. Our expanded nursery is nurturing nearly 20,000 fruit tree seedlings including mangoes, jackfruits, avocados, and pawpaw, with 70% already booked. This work restores the environment while creating green jobs for refugees and host communities. Thanks to Cohere for supporting this impact.

On 28th April, Live in Green hosted the Global Platform for Action (GPA) team in Kyaka II. We showcased how we turn waste into clean briquettes and compost, and introduced our clean cooking solutions, including the Moto Core Stove for cooking, lighting, and charging. The team also visited our tree nursery. We highlighted key challenges like high production costs and limited financing. The insights shared will help shape future interventions.

Live in Green continues to champion environmental conservation in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement by adding more tree seedlings to Bukere Secondary School. This follows the planting of 300 fruit and non-fruit trees on 24 March 2026 with stakeholders, including Centenary Bank. Seedlings were collected from our Bukere Zone nursery by the Environmental Club led by Mr. Mark Musinguzi. Together, we grow a greener future.

Live in Green has launched the transformation of the Bukere Zone Dumpsite in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement.

✅ Access Road completed

✅ Nearly 3 acres cleared and ploughed

Next: fencing and compartmentalization for dumping, sorting, and processing. Organic, plastic, glass, and polythene waste will each have dedicated units.

This initiative turns waste into value, creating green jobs and income for refugees and host communities while protecting the environment.

On 23rd March, Live in Green, with OPM Kyaka II, mobilized Bukere Trading Centre for a major waste collection drive. Local businesses supported by providing trucks & Tuk-tuk to transport waste to the Live in Green-managed dumpsite.

The community agreed to make this a monthly activity and introduce a polluter fee for sustainability. This initiative strengthened unity, collaboration, and collective action for a cleaner, healthier Kyaka II.
