Solidarities is an organization that has introduced the planting of kales (sukumawiki) in sacks. This organization has created employment to many people in our community. Its headquarters are located near the chief's camp. Those who have registered in this organization come and take the seedlings from the headquarters and go and plant near their homes. Some of the people who grow it sale it and get money or use it as a source of food. The growing of kales require alot of attention and care. Most of the people in the community enjoy the growing of sukumawiki.
