  • 1 April 2022, Nyumanzi refugee settlement, Adjumani district, Uganda: Nursery worker Makel Chol Deng undertakes weeding in a bed of teak seeds sown at a tree nursery in the Nyumanzi refugee settlement. A 43-year-old farmer from Jonglei, South Sudanese refugee Makel Chol Deng supports an LWF project producing more than 150,000 tree seedlings on an annual basis. “When I arrived here, the environment here was nothing like this. Now we are planting trees, and it shows the importance of taking care of our environment,” he says. The Nyumanzi refugee settlement, in Adjumani district, West Nile area of northern Uganda, hosts more than 50,000 refugees, the majority of which arrived following the eruption of war in South Sudan in 2013. The refugees and host communities in the area receive support from the Lutheran World Federation World Service program in Uganda.

  • 'Bertita' Cáceres, daughter of assassinated environmentalist leader Berta Cáceres of the indigenous Lenca organisation COPINH in La Esperanza, Intibucá, Honduras. Speaking shortly before the first anniversary of the assassination of her mother, Bertita spoke about the persistent threats against her mother and family, and the pain of losing their mother. She says that the assassination is a political crime, covered up by the state, and is part of a policy that has seen 123 defenders of land and environment assassinated in Honduras since the coup. Bertita is currently one of the leaders of COPINH, that is campaigning against the construction of a dam on sacred Lenca land.

  • 30 May 2019, Mokolo, Cameroon: Aisha Bukar (left) and Hawa Harona (right) place a tray of fresh charcoal briquettes in the sun to dry. At the Minawao camp for Nigerian refugees, degradable and non-degradable waste are separated, so that biomass can be burnt in metal containers, processed and finally transformed into charcoal briquettes as a source of recycled energy to be used as firewood for cooking. With the support of an environment monitor  from the Lutheran World Federation World Service programme, the full process from waste to charcoal is managed and run by the refugees themselves. The Minawao camp for Nigerian refugees, located in the Far North region of Cameroon, hosts some 58,000 refugees from North East Nigeria. The refugees are supported by the Lutheran World Federation, together with a range of partners.
