Marcelin fled DRC to Kakuma Refugee Camp with nothing. To sustain himself, he began farming, which has now grown into something much bigger. Marcelin runs Farming and Health Education, a CBO which trains refugee communities in regenerative farming.
Taking part in the Amala Global Secondary Diploma, Marcelin added a social enterprise element to his CBO, teaching himself to grow edible mushrooms and sell them to the community at an affordable rate.
"Amala shapes your mind, giving you a path to go down, and teaches you how to be self-reliant”.
