🍄 Growing Mushrooms in Our Agroforest.
In our small production unit on the Buseesa farm, we’re doing something quite rare for Uganda: growing mushrooms!
It’s not just exciting for the farmers who visit us—but also for the local children. 1/2

Nothing prepared me for the shock that is the change in the @Parliament_Ug Speaker's budget!

2015/16 - 2.3 billion. (@RebeccaKadagaUG)

2021/22 - 3.9 billion. (@JacobOulanyah)

2023/24 - 13 billion. (@AnitahAmong)

2024/25 - 19 billion. (@AnitahAmong)

@AnitahAmong's donation budget in 2024/25 alone is TWICE what was the speaker's entire budget in 2015/16! BRUH!

On Wednesday, the ICJ, while ruling on a case brought before it in 2019... ruled that countries could take legal action against each other over climate change, including historic emissions of planet warming gases...

The ICC’s ruling is a chance for us to wake up from our slumber and take deliberate steps to save our environment and do it within our means.

🌍 A Bittersweet Snapshot from Buseesa
Check out this satellite photo. The dark green area? That’s our forest.
The contrast with the neighboring land is stark.
Yes, a few neighbors are now planting trees too—but it's clear that our work here has only just began.
