Empowering displaced refugee families and local host communities in Kyangwali Refugee Settlement.
We provide school fees sponsorship, scholastic materials, uniform support, and child protection advocacy to keep vulnerable refugee and host community children in school.

Equipping youth and women with practical skills in tree nursery management, seedling production, agro-processing, and micro-enterprise management.
Establishing Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLA) to foster micro-savings, access to credit, and financial independence for women and parents.
Promoting local fruit tree planting and sustainable fish harvesting to ensure vulnerable children receive fresh fruits and protein twice a week.
Building on MCTNA's foundation to raise tree seedlings that combat land degradation around Kyangwali Refugee Settlement.

The Start Small and Grow to Achieve (SGA) project began with a single tree nursery bed created by Mukarange Community Tree Nursery Association (MCTNA). Today under IGRAO, the project manages 7 active community fish ponds, Matooke banana plantations, and tree seedling distribution.
Because of this project, selected community children in Kyebitaka receive fresh fruit and fish meals twice a week, improving childhood nutrition and encouraging school attendance.
