About The Project

$685 needed to purchase sheep, hens and a water tank
$295 contributed by Andrew towards his project

With an initial investment Andrew made repairs to his sheep shed and bought another sheep. He improved the sanitation facilities in his home and planted different types of vegetables and fruits to improve his family’s diet and for income. With future investments he wishes to build a water tank to harvest rain water, purchase a bicycle for transporting products for his business and buy some land near the main road for ease of access to the markets.



Paying it Forward

Andrew will continue to plant tree seedlings. He believes that by practicing sustainable agriculture and agroforestry the farming in the area will improve, thus creating jobs and a better standard of living.

Backstory

Andrew is a widower living with his 19-year-old son who is a full time student. He would like his son complete his education. His relatives live in the same community, are farmers, and have a very low standard of living. He invests in a SACCO to finance future projects. From the sales of his fruits and vegetables he was able to earn enough money to get out of debt. He and his neighbors have constructed feed roads and planted trees, with plans to plan more. He hopes for better leadership to construct water tanks to harvest rainwater, improve on sanitation systems and to promote better farming practices.
