Empower 175 students for food security in Kenya

I take this opportunity to thank all those who have considered contributing for this youth project. The project has added a lot of value to our youth as they are now appreciating agriculture in different angles. They are developing more interest towards agribusiness and sustainable agriculture which is very positive. This year started well with some unexpected rains in early January which really improved the crops in the gardens. Most students had planted crops in November and they were able to nurture them during their long holiday in December and after they reported back in January their gardens were very green. They were able to sell their vegetables to the school for the lunch program and the demand was a bit high since there were no plenty vegetables in the market. At the moment they are preparing their gardens for planting during the long rains in April. We have tried to source different seeds for different youth polytechnics for diversity and since some of them were lucky to get water harvesting structures and water tank, they will utilize the rains by harvesting enough water to use even when the rains subsidize. The clubs is attracting more members who are developing interest towards the project and they have actually learned a lot of skills and knowledge and appreciating that they can employ themselves once they are through with their courses without waiting to be employed. The youths are also sharing their knowledge and skills with their surrounding communities and their school gardens are demonstration farms for the community. Again we thank all those who have contributed towards the success of this project and encourage them to continue supporting the project
