A Story of Two Threats and One Resilient Village.
​Under the sprawling shade of an old tree in Mgbilinji Village, a young expectant mother sat listening intently. In her arms was her two-year-old son. Like any mother, her mind is constantly balancing the everyday worries of keeping her family safe.
​She came to our circle today to learn about malaria, how to protect her unborn baby through Intermittent Preventive Treatment (IPTp) and how to ensure her little boy receives his next routine malaria vaccine dose. For her, these are the shields that keep her household whole.
​But health security doesn’t stop at one disease.
​As the afternoon progressed, the dialogue took on a deeper layer of urgency. Recognizing that true protection means being ready for any threat, our partner health worker stood up to address another shadow, the Ebola outbreak. With clear, steady guidance, the health worker walked the mothers, fathers, and elders through the life-saving Standard Operating Procedures for Ebola prevention from proper hygiene to rapid community vigilance.
​Looking around that circle in Mgbilinji, you could see fear turning into empowerment. Our dedicated health workers didn't just deliver a lecture today, they brought a lifeline. Supported by TASO Uganda through CEHURD, we are proud to stand with frontline heroes who step out of the clinics and into the villages, ensuring that every mother leaves our circle double-shielded and fully prepared for tomorrow.

Keeping Up the Momentum, Bi-Weekly Health Drives in Village 5.
​Consistency is our greatest weapon against malaria. Today, our team was on the ground in Village 5, Zone 1 of Bidibidi Settlement, for our vital bi-weekly community engagement drive.
​Our focus remains laser-targeted on the most vulnerable, pregnant women and children under the age of five. Working hand-in-hand with local leaders and families, we focused on
​The Routine Malaria Vaccine: Tracking eligible infants to make sure no child misses their life-saving doses.
​Maternal Protection (IPTp): Reinforcing the importance of regular ANC visits and consistent preventive treatment for expectant mothers.
​Practical Care: Educating households on how to spot early signs of malaria and the necessity of seeking immediate medical testing and care.
​Supported by TASO Uganda through CEHURD, we are proving that regular, targeted action saves lives. Let's keep Village 5 safe and malaria-free.

From Waste to Wealth: Preserving Heritage, Cleaning Environments and Building Self-Reliance.

​Following our successful launch with local LC1, RWC, and religious leaders last week, Reliable Refugee Storytellers Association (RRSA) core team just wrapped up an intensive, two-day internal training session to launch Green Camp 2.0 in Bidibidi Settlement.
​Over Friday and today, our management team locked down our operational controls, shifting our focus toward Narrative Sovereignty.
This isn't just an environmental project, it is a platform for communities to tell their own stories. Our team aligned on methods to host community storytelling circles, ensuring that the journey toward economic growth and peaceful coexistence is documented and archived directly by the refugees and host community members themselves.
Mapping out high-airflow, well-ventilated outdoor smelting workstations and strict industrial PPE compliance protocols.
Preparing for open, public participatory household selection exercises alongside local leaders starting soon.
​We are ready to clean up metallic waste, preserve local cultural heritage and empower 20 refugee and host community households to build a self-reliant future.
