Our History

Welcome to Namutumba Innovations Agriculture

Namutumba Innovation Agriculture (NIA) is an indigenous nongovernment organization (NGO), founded by Members of Abayudaya (Jewish) community in Uganda in joint collaboration with Non-Jewish Neighbors. It was founded in 2017 in Namutumba district during the hard time resulting from famine that year. During this year (2017) of famine, many families married off their girl child in exchange for cows that they thereafter sold off for food while families ate mangoes for a full meal. This approximately left 55% of families poorer as most animals (cows and goats) were sold off for food. In response to the continued famine in many areas in rural community, Namutumba Innovation Agriculture was founded with an overall purpose to improving agriculture and livelihood in the Abayudaya communities by empowering women, encouraging values addition to farmers’ produce, education to needy children regarding tikkunOlam, provision of clean water and sanitation hygiene and conserving the environment.
