  • 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.

  • 31 May 2019, Mokolo, Cameroon: A group of nursery gardeners, themselves Nigerian refugees, work in a tree nursery in the Minawao camp for Nigerian refugees. Part of a Lutheran World Federation World Service project, the target is to develop more than 100,000 plants in the year of 2019. Planted across 20 so-called 'green spaces', a five-year planting and harvest cycle ensures material to be used as firewood, vines for building of roofs, and a step in alleviating environmental impact in and around Minawao. 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.
