About The Project

$730 needed to purchase more seeds to build her farming business
$20 contributed by Jane towards her project


Jane has a dream to own her own land and continue to grow and sell vegetables to support her family. Currently she grows Irish Potatoes, beans, maize and avocados. She has bought a sheep to use the manure to enrich the soil. Your investment will help her purchase land and buy more sheep to raise to use the manure and to sell. As with most farmers in the area, she will need to employ neighbors to help with farming chores.



Paying it Forward

As her farming business grows so to will her need to seek labor from the local community.

Backstory

Jane lives with her two school aged children. Their tuition is paid through support of the community. They live in a beautiful area, adjacent to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. However, she feels victimized, in the interest of conservation, by the government for the formation of the park. Slowly she is coping with a new lifestyle and she is “making it”. She has learned the value of savings account from her neighbors and opened one. Her dream, together with her relatives and neighbors, is to acquire their own land. Better roads, schools and medical clinics are other challenges in the area. She works together with her relatives and neighbors to preserve their culture and teach their children about conservation and protection of lands such as the national park.
