This project has several benefits when fully funded. It will help the 15,000 residents in two very poor remote villages in NE Uganda be able to better prepare their fields, have higher crop yeilds and be able to plant faster ahead of the rains. With higher crop yields they will have enough food for their families and excess to sell to help raise thier subsistance standard of living.
Additionally, another goal is for the non-profit we work with there to raise their own crops to eventually become financially independent from outside funds.
They are in the rainy season right now, having just planted their fields by hand. The next round of crop planting will be in August which is when we would like to have the equipment ready for them.
Please share this need with your friends.
