DONATE

We will train and provide farming inputs to 800 youth in order for them to undertake small-scale sustainable integrated farming ventures so that they are able to increase their menu of income sources, regenerate their farm and become progressive farmer-models in their respective communities.

Challenge

The youth do not love farming anymore and farming is not attractive to them. The reason for this is that they see farmers as very poor and marginal and production in the farm very low. The youth most often opt to go to the cities to look for job but their skill fit is not congruent with what cities and towns need. They end up in more misery and poverty.

Long-Term Impact

Small farms and the condition of the small farmer is what is needed in order to improve and sustain the planet, not large, mono-crop farming systems. Proving regenerative farming as a way of life and solution to poverty in the rural areas means improvement in the general welfare of the local communities.
