Mr. Patrick Jaramoji
Working at CEFROHT has taught me so much. I have learned how law and human rights can help people get healthy food, protect their land, and live better lives. I have also joined* in trainings, court work, and advocacy events. It is a good place to grow as a student and as a person.
Ms. Ampire Rosette
CEFROHT came to our village and taught us how to grow food without chemicals. We now use local seeds, cow dung, and urine to grow healthy crops. Our soil is better, and our food is safe. We even sell some and earn money. Life is changing, and we are very grateful.
Nazziwa Florence
At CEFROHT, we know that safe food is a shared responsibility. Through strategic partnerships and grant-funded initiatives, we work hand-in-hand with stakeholders to strengthen food safety systems, advocate for policy reform, and protect consumer health.
