My name is Elijah Astute, a Congolese refugee living in the Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda.

Since 2016, I have dedicated my life to supporting refugee families and host communities through sustainable, dignity-centered solutions. Today, the situation in Nakivale has become critical—and we urgently need your support.

Due to ongoing wars, political instability, and climate disasters in neighboring countries, thousands of new refugees arrive every week. At the same time, food assistance has been drastically reduced. Families now receive only $4 per person per month from the World Food Programme—far from enough to survive.

Hunger and malnutrition are rising fast.

🌱 Our Response: Go Green Social Initiative

To meet this growing crisis, I founded Go Green Social Initiative, a grassroots, refugee-led organization focused on long-term, sustainable solutions:

🌾 Permaculture gardens that help families grow their own food

🍄 Mushroom farming training that creates income for women and youth

☀️ Solar-powered community Wi-Fi connecting refugees to education, information, and opportunity

We don’t just give aid—we help people regain dignity, skills, and hope.

📊 Our Impact So Far

Thanks to community effort and supporter trust, we have already achieved:

✅ 225 women trained in permaculture farming

✅ 500 orphans supported across 3 orphanages

✅ 125 women empowered through mushroom cultivation

✅ Hundreds of refugees benefiting from solar-powered Wi-Fi access

🤝 How Your Donation Helps

Your support today will help us:

Sustain and expand permaculture gardens to fight hunger

Grow mushroom projects that provide income and food

Keep our community center running (electricity, security, basic operations)

Every contribution—no matter the size—creates real impact.

🌍 Join Us

This is an urgent moment—but also a moment of possibility.

Together, we can fight hunger, build resilience, and create lasting change for thousands of refugee families in Nakivale.

Thank you for standing with us.

With gratitude,

Elijah Astute
