RUCID's Impact Cases
01 From Farmer to Change Agent
In the heart of Mbaliga Village, Busimbi Division, Hajji Abasi Nsereko transformed his small-scale farm into a model for sustainable agriculture thanks to training and mentorship from RUCID.
Previously reliant on traditional, low-yield practices, Hajji adopted organic methods including integrated fruit production, beekeeping, and soil conservation. He successfully tamed water runoff on his steep land, revitalizing a dried-up water source that now feeds a commercial fish pond.
Today, he is a focal farmer for both Buganda Kingdom and the local government, producing mangoes, bananas, coffee, and more. His farm is not just a source of income, it’s a hub for training, sustainability, and youth inspiration.
“With RUCID’s support, I turned agriculture into my full-time business and source of pride. I’m building wealth while preserving the land for future generations.”
— Hajji Abasi Nsereko
02 The RUCID Demonstration Garden
Growing a Learning Hub
What began as a basic training plot has blossomed into a thriving agroecological learning center, thanks to early support from Misereor.
The RUCID Demonstration and Trial Garden was created as a space where farmers, students, and community members could observe, learn, and apply sustainable practices from organic pest control to eco-tourism.
Now expanded into a full training facility hosting hundreds of learners annually, the garden showcases innovations like climate-smart agriculture, fruit value addition, and regenerative soil techniques.
This space has helped formalize RUCID’s transition into a college, offering diploma and certificate programs in organic farming. It’s now a regional center for agricultural learning and experimentation.
“What we see today began with a seed of support and a vision for shared knowledge. Now, this garden is a beacon of resilience and sustainability.”
