About The Project

$815 needed to pay land rent and purchase potato seeds
$230 contributed by Paulinah towards her project

With an initial investment Pahurinah bought Irish seed potatoes and also contributed to her local savings program. The shared experience with others in this program helped her improve the family’s farming methods and she bought manure and herbicide for the crops. With increased crop production and income, the family will be able to afford medical services, school clothes and fees. With future investments she would like to buy a cow for milk and use the manure for an organic fertilizer.



Paying it Forward

Pahurinah and family have donated their time to help others in need.

Backstory

Pahurinah lives with her husband and six children. Five children are in school and eldest works on the family farm with her mother and father. They sell the potatoes, sorghum and beans they grow. They have experienced a food shortage from not being able to buy seed to cultivate and therefore earn an income. They managed to get seed, plant the vegetables and hope they will get a good harvest and overcome this situation in the near future. Since the road infrastructure is so poor in the area, her family volunteers as part of community service projects to improve the feeder roads around her village.
