Yesterday, 11/6/2026, Reliable Refugee Storytellers Association (RRSA) took a crucial step forward by hosting our Project Introduction Meeting with leaders in Zone 1, Bidibidi Refugee Settlement!

​The primary goal of today’s engagement was to secure deep community buy-in and ownership right from the starting line. We are thrilled to share that the response was overwhelmingly positive, with local leaders standing firmly behind our vision for grassroots climate action and household-level ecological restoration.

​This vital initiative is proudly funded by IKEA Foundation through Cohere, allowing us to scale up Green Camp 2.0

​A huge thank you to our partners at Cohere for believing in refugee-led environmental action, and to the incredible leaders of Zone 1 for their warm reception and unwavering l dedication to the Land!

A project is only as strong as the community’s trust. Today was all about building that trust as we oriented our key community Gatekeepers on our malaria prevention initiative.

From addressing myths to discussing the importance of male involvement in maternal health, the conversation was eye-opening. these leaders are now equipped to be champions of health rights in every household.

Huge thanks to the local leaders and influencers who joined us to discuss how we can collectively safeguard our mothers and babies. This partnership with TASO Uganda and CEHURD is bringing life-saving change to our doorsteps.

Check out some highlights from the session.

No Mother or Baby Left Behind.

Malaria remains a major challenge in Yumbe District but today’s stakeholder meeting proved that when we stand together, we are stronger than any disease.

We are thrilled to introduce our latest project focused on protecting expectant mothers and their little ones from malaria. With the incredible support of TASO Uganda and CEHURD, we are working directly with Village Health Teams (VHTs) and local leaders to make malaria prevention accessible to all.

Stay tuned for more updates as we hit the ground.?

From Stage to Soil: Youth Lead Climate Action in Bidibidi.

Today, the Green Camp Project brought together youth for a dynamic climate competition. Through competitive quizzes, powerful dramas, and expressive art, young leaders explored solutions to the environmental challenges facing our settlement.

But we didn't just talk about change, we planted it. To combat the evident deforestation in Bidibidi, every participant received fruit and shade tree seedlings. These trees serve as a living commitment to restoring our landscape and securing a greener, more food-secure future.
