Voices From Our Network - East Africa

"Agriculture is important to me because if I can share what I know about farming with my village, maybe they will learn from me and our lives will be better. At ECHO demonstration gardens, we learned what vegetables grow well with little water in case there is a drought, and we learned new and better ways of farming. Everyone needs to have skills about something so they can share with theIr community. In my community, many people are farmers but they don't always know the best ways to produce."
