About The Project

$740 needed to rent land and purchase materials and seed to start her farming business
$15 contributed by Pesian towards her project


With initial an investment, Pesian bought a sheep to provide manure for crops in her small garden plot. She used some of the money for medication as she was sick. She invested left over money in a savings group. With future investments she will buy more seeds to increase her vegetable production.



Paying it Forward

Pesian understands that as her crop production grows she will need to employ people from her community.

Backstory

Pesian is remarried, after her first husband passed away, and they live with three young children. Two children go to school with the help of donations for tuition. Like other displaced Batwa people who little land of their own, Pesain gathers leftover potatoes from neighbor’s harvests to sell. She faces the familiar challenges of this settlement, the need for good drinking water, safe housing, better medical facilities and improved roads. A main goal for her family is to buy land to grow vegetables to provide food for her family as well as to provide an income.
