A 43-year-old farmer from Jonglei, South Sudanese refugee Makel Chol Deng supports an LWF project producing more than 150,000 tree seedlings on an annual basis. “When I arrived here, the environment here was nothing like this. Now we are planting trees, and it shows the importance of taking care of our environment,” he says. The Nyumanzi refugee settlement, in Adjumani district, West Nile area of northern Uganda, hosts more than 50,000 refugees, the majority of which arrived following the eruption of war in South Sudan in 2013. The refugees and host communities in the area receive support from the Lutheran World Federation World Service program in Uganda.
