Farming my own plot of land is so sweet, not only to sell vegetables for income, but to eat them at times they're not normally for sale. ~Jeannette
Jeannette is one of over 80 women in eastern Congo who now have a plot of land to grow fruits and vegetables, thanks to your support of Action Kivu!Our agronomist Mukengere is a student at the university in Bukavu, and teaches the women the organic and sustainable techniques he is learning in his class on agriculture and climate change. They now use local grasses to combat insects, and each farmer has her own compost heap at home, as well as the shared compost for the farm.Read more stories of hope and transformation:
