Agriculture Programs in Uganda: Growing Food, Growing Hope
Empowering Rural Communities in Uganda Through Sustainable Agriculture
At Uganda Counseling and Support Services (UCSS), our agriculture programs are planting more than crops—they’re planting hope, dignity, and self-reliance. In rural Uganda, where poverty and hunger are daily challenges, we are equipping families with the skills, tools, and resources to grow their own food, improve nutrition, and build sustainable livelihoods.
Agriculture programs that empower rural families
A Holistic Approach to Agricultural Development
UCSS believes that spiritual and physical transformation go hand in hand. That’s why our agricultural initiatives are rooted in both practical training and biblical principles of stewardship, restoration, and community care.
By combining faith-based outreach with sustainable modern farming techniques, we are seeing lives changed—not just fed, but empowered.
With support from UCSS donors and partners, entire villages are learning to break the cycle of food insecurity and walk toward lasting independence.

Our holistic agriculture outreach includes:

Empowering Families to Feed Themselves and Their Communities
In communities where farming was once a struggle, UCSS agriculture programs are equipping people to produce consistent, nutritious crops and even sell surplus food in local markets.
“Before, our children went to sleep hungry. Now we harvest from our own garden and sell vegetables. We have food, dignity, and hope.”
