Received some rainfalls and some relief from drought. Our team has been planting vegetables nearly every day and we travelled to the field on two occasions for extended vegetable and crop planting. With our handy project officials, multiple days were spent working with other semi-nomadic pastoralist communities to implement vegetable, crop planting and water conservation projects. What an incredibly positive experience! Our Pebac team members found it meaningful to share their expertise with communities of Karamoja Uganda and to receive so much gratitude and positive feedback. These field work and travels were truly motivating. Currently, the team is planting many vegetables like cabbage, greens, tomatoes and crops. Vegetables grow fast and they can be a source of food and income, they are also among the hardiest to plant since karamoja is always dry. They have thrived and continued to produce nutritious crops through intense and prolonged droughts too harsh for many food producing species. One of the places where planting is taking place is in a kotido where we planted vegetables about four months ago. Those vegetables have grown into some of the most productive that we have planted so far.
We are so grateful to be able to provide essential, life-saving services in karamoja. We couldn’t do it without your support; THANK YOU! GlobalGiving for the endless support.
