Kikondo, UG- Family works hard to earn income and invest in projects – 25 May 2018

Wamukisa helped the The KFN family build 3 more vegetable beds for income generation, because their home garden was so successful.  The family attended all of Wamukisa’s training sessions in 2018 and is applying the lessons to improving their lives. So far this year they have started an organic vegetable garden, restarted construction on their new home, and started a pig-rearing project.

Since their village is rapidly becoming more populous, the family is unable to have additional space to further expand their agricultural businesses. In order to continue to grow their businesses without more land, the family hopes to increase farm productivity through better soil maintenance techniques and improved seed varieties. They’re hopeful that trying new techniques will help them produce high output of quality products.

The family lives in Nsujjuwe village in the Mpigi district of Uganda, and is made up of the parents and their two children who both attend Kikondo Primary School. The family is an active member of the Kigasa Women’s Group, which partners with Wamukisa. Through working with Wamukisa and attending training sessions, the family has learned valuable knowledge and skills that have enabled them to sustain their projects.

The family was one of the first 4 families to start a 3 bed vegetable garden in the first quarter of 2018, and have had an exciting year since they started working with Wamukisa garden shop.  The shop has conducted 4 training sessions with the family, including nourishing soil, compost making, PIE (Prioritize, Inspect, Encourage) and PESI (Produce, Earn, Save, Invest) training. When asked about the training sessions, the family says, “The PIE and PESI trainings helped us achieve many things so fast on our farm and we request Wamukisa for more such trainings.”
