Regesoil: Camp Community Composting

Unidos Projects, led by Paulinho Muzaliwa, work in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda. With Re-Alliance, they established a community composting project aimed at collectively composting food scraps using traditional composting as well as vermicomposting. Collective composting sites mean that communities can come together to cycle their organic waste, turning it into nutrient-rich compost. Not only does this reduce waste, but it also enhances soil quality on Permaculture food growing sites throughout Nakivale.

Unidos hosted educational workshops and hands-on training sessions, empowering residents with knowledge on composting techniques and the benefits of organic waste recycling. This work built community involvement and partnership, empowering residents to actively participate in the maintenance and operation of the composting sites.
