Buliisa Uganda IP Teams Open New Office

A joint project of the Buliisa-area Interfaith Peacemaker teams, an office and library building that they built is now completed and is in use.

Togo IP Teams Dig Up a Bumper Harvest of Cassava

Togo IP Teams have invested in a 7.5 acre community farm, which has become a lifeline. They grow cassava for food and groundnuts (for extracting oil) as a cash crop. Despite not having rain for over 6 months, they dug up a bumper harvest of cassava, since that is a climate resilient crop.

Sri Lankan IP Teams Seek to Create a Spice Cooperative

Sri Lankan IP Teams are working on creating a cooperative of spice growers. A US-based company is interested in buying Sri Lankan spices. This will be a significant boost in income for some of the poorest people in Sri Lanka. This is a young cinnamon plant, a spice for which Sri Lanka is famous.

Liberian IP Teams Work on Rice Cultivation

Liberian Ministry of Agriculture officers conduct a feasibility study on rice cultivation on a property on which IP Teams plan to grow rice.

10,000 Trees

An IP Team in Buliisa, Uganda decided that they will plant 10,000 trees in their community with the hope that they will provide an buffer against the devastating effects of climate change on their community. They know the trees will take many years to mature, and those who plant may not live to see the results. But this is for their children and grandchildren, they assert. This is a nursery of tree saplings that are now ready to be taken out to plant. When this set is done, they want to do another 10,000.

Reusable Sanitary Pads

An IP Team in Bullisa, Uganda makes resuable sanitary pads for distribution in local schools. Many girls skip school during their menstrual periods which impacts their education. The IP Team members take the opportunity to provide education on sexual health to students. This has resulted in a reduction of teenage pregnancies.
