Progress at Nabitende

Hello Neighbors,
Greetings and hope you are doing well. The going has not been easy because of the sunshine but we are still pushing on. We have begun on small harvest due to poor yield. This yield season has not been good because of the soil, it was poor yet we had to use organic throughout.

We struggled with the pests which needed stronger drugs than the ones we used. But we have got some more contacts with other organic farmers like NOGAMU, KULIKA and others who will train us more because this is the field they have worked in for more that 3 years.
We went ahead planting fruit trees (improved) like mangoes, oranges and avocados and are doing well at the moment. The women peasant farmers are very grateful for Nabuur to be in existence which made it possible to meet people that can feel for them by supporting them both financially and information, please they request you to keep it up that the way forward be seen.
Paddy
