We planted crops and vegetables nearly every day, and we traveled to the field on three occasions for extended crop planting. With our handy project officials, multiple days were spent working with other semi-nomadic pastoralist communities to implement 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 we received so much gratitude and positive feedback. The 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 and Moroto where we planted vegetables about 2 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 during these food crises in karamoja. We couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for your support .
