Kanyaga Primary- Chickens and maize
Kanyaga Primary- Chickens and maize

As the year drew to a close, so did the schools and plans were put in place to ensure farming work continued. The season delivered a small amount of rain by the time of our mid-November visit but it was not enough in most places to allow planting to go ahead. Thankfully the rains have now arrived and seeds are in the ground, whilst mulch hides it from the harsh sun. With fully matured compost piles to deliver nutrients to the soil, we have high hopes for the coming crop.

Students from every year group at the school have been involved in the climate smart farming work with the exception of grade seven where their focus has turned to their final exams. Fingers crossed for them.

In addition to the successes of the crop areas, we’ve seen each of the chicken projects get progressively more sustainable, with schools averaging 19 eggs per day, up from 16. Along with the vegetables being grown, the eggs are regularly forming part of healthy and nutritious school meals.

Climate smart agriculture shows schools, students, families and communities the way to sustainable farming.

Thanks for all your support in feeding young bodies and minds.
