July 2016: Uganda: Mushrooms Farming Training Project
Mushrooms Farming Training Project: Rewenzori Area – East Uganda
Background and Necessity of the Project
In most counties, surveys indicate that seventy families out of hundred don’t earn 2,500 Uganda Shillings (approximately 0.75 USD) every two weeks. This has resulted in miserable conditions and violence in the communities. There is visual malnutrition in most children, frequent sicknesses in both Adults and Young, school drop outs, family wrangles and divorce, criminal acts like thefts as people try to earn from where they did not invest; and in general severe poverty is seen.
The situation has been worsened by prolonged droughts due to climate change, leading to crop failure. Then the inflated Ugandan economy where the national currency shilling has lost value has made the money worthless. Moreover, high amount of taxation of every activity up to the smallest retail activities has triggered the purchasing capacity of the poor to the point of none.
The undesirable political problems like the post election violence which rocked most of Ugandan villages especially the area called Rwenzori region have caused hundreds of people lost their lives and families to be displaced. All these have led to the extreme suffering of the communities that have been living in a needy life. This project is planned in view of capacitating the people in their struggle of countering these natural and man-made causalities leading to starvation through training so that they will have alternatives in generating their daily consumption and minimize starvation.
