Update from the Circular Refugee Camp

Update from the Circular Refugee Camp

Last week, a hands-on training program took place in three health centres across Imvepi and Rhino Camp refugee settlements in Uganda, equipping 20 trainees with vital skills in biogas electrification systems. SkillEd contributed by developing the Circular Refugee Camps (CRC) Android app, enabling participants to study core learning modules before and after their field practice.

This blended learning approach allowed trainees to prepare remotely, ensuring they arrived ready to apply their knowledge in real-world conditions. The urgency for stable energy solutions is especially evident in places like the Imvepi health centre, where unreliable solar power frequently disrupts critical medical equipment.

Now, with certified trainees in place, these systems can be operated safely and efficiently, providing a dependable energy source. During a field visit by donor Se4allproject.eu, trained operators successfully demonstrated their ability to follow safety procedures and keep these essential systems running.

We are proud to support projects that bring practical, lasting solutions to refugee communities. A huge thank you to all trainees, our close CRC partners SEMiLLA Sanitation, Biogas Solutions Uganda Limited (BSUL), HS GREEN ENERGY UGANDA, and Nijhuis Saur Industries and supporters who make this progress possible!
