The project continues to progress and to yield day by day. Both the phase 1 and II of the project are doing well. For the last 4 months, we have been receiving a lot of rains and thus our vegetables and trees that we initially planted are blossoming well. Our farm officer together with the women hosted at Agatha Amani House have been taking care of the food forest; maintaining it, adding more plants and also in charge of harvesting the yields. The food forest has been a great source of improved nutrition; vegetables and herbs for the hosted women and their children. It has also been acted as a learning hub, as we have been using it for field visits. People visit to see the food forest and also to learn about permaculture and climate action initiatives.
For preservation of our surplus, we invented a solar drier. Preservation of our food forest produce is one of the central problems we have been facing and we end up having a lot of wastes sometimes. Drying these products will help solve these problems, while also making an important contribution to improving the population's income and supply situation.
