About The Project

$830 needed to purchase seed, pay labor and to rent land
$140 contributed by Jackline towards her project


With an initial investment Jackline used half the funds to buy seed potatoes and she saved half for future improvements to her farm. She is looking forward to improving her farming methods and using an organic fertilizer is a first step in growing healthy food. With better harvests, and a growing income, she will be able to pay for school fees and feed her family a healthy diet. She would like to use future investments towards her goals of raising sheep or goats and building a shelter water tank for the animals. She hopes that she will be able to share her experience and other families will learn from her farming project.



Paying it Forward

Jackline will pay it forward by sharing her knowledge of the farming project with other families. And as her potato production grows, she will offer employment to her community.

Backstory

Jackline lives with her husband, Vicent, and three children attending school. Vicent earns an income as a trader, buying and selling vegetables and domestic animals. The family has faced difficult times from poor crop yields, but through Jackline’s faith and better cultivation practices she has gotten higher yields, and this is source of pride for her. She would like to have access to local sources where she can learn better agricultural practices, like a demonstration farm in her village. Her community works together to build local roads. This improves the agricultural commerce of the area which will increase the standard of living for her community.
