Reimagining desirable living for refugees, with Hodari Foundation

We spoke with Janvier Hafasha, executive director and founder of the Hodari Foundation, about the impact of mushrooms on people with refugee status.

Based in Uganda, Hodari Foundation helps refugees in Kyaka II refugee settlement in southwestern Uganda, to become self-sufficient. They do this by teaching people, mostly women to grow and sell mushrooms.

Just a note: in this chat, we discuss themes that some might find distressing, like the refugee experience, child orphans, sexual and gender-based violence, and suicide.
