A small team with a big goal — building climate-resilient food systems in Karamoja, one mushroom at a time.
Okralink is run by a small, hands-on team working closely with farmers, youth, and women across Karamoja. We are growers, trainers, and problem-solvers.
Every garden we produce, every training we run, and every mushroom we deliver is touched by someone on this team. We are building something that lasts — together with the communities we serve.
