From emergency food distribution and COVID-19 containment to community peace dialogues and Cash for Work infrastructure, YSAT responds to crises from within the communities experiencing them, not from the outside.
All projects below are implemented in Uganda's West Nile sub-region, primarily in Rhino Camp and Imvepi refugee settlements.
In partnership with Andre Foods International and funded by the World Food Programme, YSAT coordinates food distribution, cash transfers, community mobilisation, and GBV prevention awareness across seven settlement zones in Rhino Camp.
