Field notes
The homepage connects the biochar work to a wider set of settlement programs, including a seed bank, women’s leadership training, disability inclusion, mental-health support, and community savings. It reports 242 farmers in the seed and soil program as of October 2024, and doubled bean yields on amended fields in 2025. Named collaborators include UNHCR, Nsamizi, and OpenAir Collective.
