Description

I'm delighted to welcome Ansima Casinga Rolande to this final episode of our International Women's Series. I've worked with Rolande for many years now and I can truly say that she is one of the most inspiring people I've ever met.

Rolande is from the Democratic Republic of Congo and is living currently in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda. In this episode, she shares her story of how she came to be in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, the challenges of life in a refugee camp and how she started to make a difference.

After taking the Permaculture Education Institute's Permaculture Design and Teaching Course, Rolande has been working hard to integrate permaculture into the camp - for healthy food, for livelihoods, for environmental restoration, for women and youth, for peace and for hope. From women's menstrual health to helping young artists in the camp, Rolande is empowering women and youth by providing education, livelihoods, and a sense of purpose.

Rolande's work wouldn't be possible without the kind donations of people like you. The Ethos Foundation is a registered charity and sends 100% of all donations towards programs like Rolande's and supports free permaculture education for refugees, with direct impact where it is needed most. If you can make a donation, it is deeply appreciated, supporting life-changing permaculture programs led by local people in 10 refugee settlements across Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.

Another way to support Ethos Foundation initiatives is to attend the Permaculture Education Institute's free, online events and donate at registration - this also goes 100% towards programs.
