Community Mobilisation Meeting: Strengthening Grassroots Action in Kyebitaka Village

On August 13, 2026, the IROD GLOBAL REFUGEES ACTIONS ORGANIZATION (IGRAO-AFRICA) team conducted an intensive community mobilisation meeting in Kyebitaka village. The initiative was dedicated to deepening grassroots engagement, fostering community dialogue, and aligning local priorities around education, sustainable livelihoods, and child safeguarding.

Held between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM, the mobilization session brought together parents, community elders, youth leaders, and local residents. The IGRAO team moved across the village to connect directly with households, presenting our ongoing initiatives and sharing a collaborative roadmap for long-term self-reliance in Kyangwali Refugee Settlement.

Key Highlights & Discussions

• Vision & Mission Sharing: Introducing IGRAO’s core objectives and long-term commitment to refugee and host community transformation.
• Education & Child Support: Highlighting the progress of the IGRAO Nursery & Primary School and holiday coaching programs for vulnerable children.
• Livelihoods & Youth Empowerment: Expanding access to sustainable agricultural training, farm hubs, and vocational skills development.
• Gender, Inclusion & Safeguarding: Ensuring that women, girls, persons with disabilities, and all community members can safely participate in all programs without fear of discrimination or harassment.

We were deeply encouraged by the warm reception, constructive ideas, and genuine appreciation expressed by community members. Their active participation and readiness to partner with IGRAO reinforce the core principle of our organization: sustainable development is most impactful and lasting when the community is firmly placed at the centre.

IGRAO-AFRICA extends sincere gratitude to every parent, youth leader, and resident who took the time to attend, contribute insights, and support our collective mission. Together, we are laying the groundwork for resilient, empowered, and thriving communities.

“Together, we can build stronger communities and create better opportunities for children, youth, refugees, and host communities.”
