Not much has been happening with this project as most farmers have faced a rough period in the past months since rains were not enough as previously reported. Our beneficiaries were as well affected and they had little in their farms as most of their crops dried as a result of prolonged drought in most parts of the country. At the moment the situation has really improved and farmers have replanted and majority are enjoying fresh farm products they can now even sell the surplus and they hope that they will have good yields if the weather will be favorable. We are still empowering our beneficiaries and other farmers we are working with on value addition of their farm products. We are aslo encouraging them to practice seed saving to avoid the losses they have been having.
Our beneficiaries are still facing the challenge on water harvesting and only wish they can be able to tap the rain water as it has been raining for a while now. Although they are trying in their small ways, they are optimistic that they will make good progress if they receive good yields from their farms and together they can consider sourcing funds as groups trying to address the issue. This will take the long time as some of them don’t have big farms to produce more yields but they hope they will get solution in one way or the other. We continue fundraising towards success of these groups and we are encouraging others to join us. We appreciate the support this far as we hope for the best. Thank you
