OUR KEY AREAS

BFI Water Resource in Kyondo,
Mubende

In order to provide adequate water for irrigation of crops, BFI is planning to have a water resource in Mubende. The water resource will be built on existing pond that is currently insufficient to provide adequate water for irrigation. It will also be used for fish farming to generate more food and income to the company

Zero-waste and Unconventional farming in Mubende

Our mission is to farm with nature – sunlight, air, soil microorganisms and turning weeds into crop nutrients. We try to minimise use of chemical pesticides and herbicides. We grow bananas, rosemary, vegetables, chilli, coffee and fruit trees mainly black jack, amla, oranges, lemon, bitter guard, macadamia nuts, mangoes and other trees – eucalyptus, pine.

A word from Our CEO

I am honoured to have conceptualized and constituted my family into Company known as Bwengye Family Initiative Company Limited following the Ugandan presidential campaign of non-family fragmentation as the family expands and/or loses some of the members. I’m delighted that in our first discussions about staying together in form of company, the family members readily agreed and we spend much of our efforts in the first 5 years focusing on the greening the bare hills of Rukiga District and making an attempt to stage a challenge of decarbonising our planet, while creating jobs, and inclusive growth. We managed to plant trees in more than 100 acres of land that was largely bare.
