Projects

Strengthening the resilience to the effects of climate change on small farms in northern Burundi.

With this project, farming families in South Kivu are strengthening their skills in sustainable agriculture through agro-ecology. Agricultural production is diversified and farmers come together to form village savings and loan associations.

Food insecurity is high among the people of north-eastern Uganda. The cause is recurrent drought, which has led to a fall in agricultural productivity.

Through this project in eastern Rwanda, we are working with 14 agricultural cooperatives to make their practices more productive and sustainable, using agroecology.

In response to recurring periods of drought, training farming communities in agro-ecological transition to make the food system more resilient and sustainable.

Food insecurity is high in the Karamoja region in eastern Uganda. Since 2018, FH Switzerland has been supporting projects in this region with farming families, to enable them to increase their agricultural and livestock production and diversify their sources of income through the development of economic activities.

The Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has the highest number of sexual assaults on women in the world. Dr. Mukwege, winner of the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize, treats female victims of violence at the Panzi hospital in Bukavu. While medical and psychological care is provided, survivors find it extremely difficult to regain their place in the community, and face discrimination.

Washing stations (where the pulp is removed from coffee beans) which are run by cooperatives can produce high quality coffee. The objective is to assist coffee producers in actually producing good quality coffee, which can then be sold at a good price ; in turn, it provides a better income. In the end, the cooperatives should be self-managed.

Providing a family with a goat or a cow can often be a determining factor in improving food security for an entire community.

The objective of this project is to reduce poverty in 3 districts of the southern province of Rwanda, by strengthening the agricultural associations and cooperatives. This project will favor an increase in the production of food and agricultural produce that can be sold at the market, which will increase their income.

This project supports 400 vulnerable families in the Mbale region in the ease of Uganda by providing milk cows.

Located in the Province of Ruyigi, in Burundi, this project seeks to restore food self-sufficiency of the members operating the Seed Centers in Nyabigozi, Mubavu and Kinyinya and the surrounding communities.

With the strengthening of agricultural production and small livestock farming, this project aims to improve the conditions of living of the vulnerable populations in the surroundings of Bukavu, in South Kivu.
