The Her Mighty Hands Difference
It's not just numbers, it's people's lives. Here are just a few of the stories highlighting the positive difference from our agriculture training videos.
Food security
Akullo Flo has one wish.
Flo takes care of six children, and though they aren't her biological children, she loves them as if they were. If she could have one wish granted, it would be that her children could always be food secure. She estimates that the training videos helped her eliminate wasted crops by 40%, increasing sustainability and profits.
Farm security
Aguti Secondina has been farming her whole life.
At 58 years old, she still takes care of 12 children, walks miles a day for water, and completes all household and farm chores. After the training videos, her farm moved from subsistence farming (producing only enough food to survive) to a midsize, commercial operation for the first time.
Family security
Adero Judith survived the drought, saving her childrens' futures.
Judith is proud to be a farmer, and she said farming has been so much better after the introduction of the training videos. Despite rampant drought in 2022, her improved farming methods allowed her to grow enough crops to feed her family. She even had enough left over to sell. This allowed her children, including her daughter Marrion, to continue going to school.
