Quotes
“School fees were a struggle previously because coffee wasn’t able to produce good yields.
Farm Africa taught us good methods of farming like emphasising mulching, pruning and digging of trenches to increase coffee yields. Farm Africa also trained our group on how to work together as a cooperative.
Farm Africa introduced the VSLA to us and emphasised looking at farming as a business, where record keeping was essential to monitor progress.
Now, my family is able to cater for the school fees using our improved income because I practise good farming practices.”
