Vegetable farming

Through the EAMCEF project, I first bought a water pipe, then used the remaining money to pay for my children’s school fees. Secondly, I decided to purchase tomato seeds to continue farming, and with the leftover funds, I contributed to buying 20 bags of cement. I am grateful because I wasn’t like this before, but now I have confidence as a woman. The Eastern Arc has empowered me, and I have become a champion of farming. Therefore, to the Eastern Arc, may God bless you abundantly. I have nothing to give in return, but you have made me a courageous mother, and I am truly thankful.

I am very grateful to the EAMCEF-funded project for helping me with onion farming. I used to grow vegetables such as tomatoes, bell peppers, and greens, but onion farming has benefited me. After seeing the success of this project and as a religious leader, I encouraged my fellow believers, who used to cut down trees for charcoal and construction purposes, to join me in farming. Some of them have already decided to join this project.

So far, I have bought one cow worth around 300,000 shillings. I have been able to acquire a TV, antenna, and radio set. I am very grateful to EAMCEF for enabling me to reach this point, which I did not expect to achieve. Therefore, I thank them and hope they continue their support so that we can benefit even more from this project.

“Through this project, we are grateful for being able to cultivate onions. So far, I have been successful – I have bought a water pump and sent my child to school. If possible, I ask that they continue to support our fellow farmers so that we can achieve even more success from this project.
