Dear Friends,
Our cassva project continues to help many rural people improve their lives.
Bidii farmers group from Nyeri, a county that neighbors ours, have immensely benefited from our project. Their area is equally arid and have been finding it difficult to continue with vegetables farming due to recurring crop failure. Two years ago they heard about the achievements of our cassava project, aired on a local radio station.
They got in touch with us to learn more about cassava farming. We were happy with their desire to learn and donated to them a few cuttings to plant.
Currently, the group boasts of a 5-acre cluster farm under cassava and aiming to increase the acreage. They are already reaping big in terms of improved food security and increased income through sale of cassava tubers.
Captured in the photo, is the group in their cassava farm.
We are also working on raising additional funds for a borehole that would bring needed water to this dry area.
With gratitude,
Michael
