Reimagining desirable living for refugees, with Hodari Foundation

Today I'm chatting with Janvier Hafasha, executive director and founder of the Hodari Foundation. Based in Uganda, Hodari 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 episode, we discuss themes that some might find distressing, like the refugee experience, child orphans, sexual and gender-based violence, and suicide.

Please consider supporting Hodari Foundation, by volunteering in person or from afar. There are many ways to get involved!
