The Challenge

Food Insecurity in Mahama Camp

Over 58,000 residents face overlapping challenges that create long-term dependency on humanitarian aid.

📦

Aid Dependency

Heavy reliance on humanitarian food aid creates long-term vulnerability and limits self-reliance for thousands of families.

🥬

Poor Nutrition

Limited access to fresh, diverse, and nutritious food directly affects the health and well-being of refugee families.

🌱

No Resources

Lack of agricultural training and resources prevents families from growing their own food sustainably.

💵

Limited Income

Few income-generating opportunities restrict economic independence, especially for women and youth.

Our Solution

A Circular Agriculture Ecosystem

Three integrated pillars that work together to build lasting food security and economic independence.

🌾

Agricultural Cultivation

Commercial-scale farming producing leafy vegetables, tree tomatoes, beetroot, carrots and herbs for local markets and processing.

Our Story

About Imbuto
Plantation Farm

Born in Mahama, built for Mahama — a community-led solution to food insecurity and dependency.

Who We Are

Growing Food & Growing Dignity

Imbuto Plantation Farm is a sustainable agriculture social enterprise operating in Mahama Refugee Camp, Kirehe District, Rwanda. We were founded with a singular belief: that refugee families deserve not just food aid, but the skills, tools, and opportunities to feed themselves.

The name "Imbuto" means seed in Kinyarwanda — because every initiative we run plants a seed of self-reliance, nutrition, and dignity in the community.

Our tagline "Grow to Thrive" captures our belief that growing food is not just about nutrition — it is about building confidence, skills, income, and community.

🌱 Our Vision

A world where refugee communities are empowered to grow their own food, build resilient livelihoods, and lead thriving, self-reliant lives — no longer dependent on outside aid.

Our Mission

To build a sustainable agriculture ecosystem combining crop cultivation, household gardens, and quality food processing — transforming aid dependency into food security and economic opportunity for refugee families in Mahama Camp.
