Our agricultural and livestock projects yielded remarkable results this year! The 5-hectare maize farm at Chemchem matured and was ready for harvest, demonstrating the success of our agricultural initiatives. that means over 56 bags of corn to feed our students across the year! In addition, our small garden at the home produced cucumbers and other vegetables, which were used both within the center and sold at the market. Our pig farming project also flourished, with the number of pigs increasing to 34. We planned to reduce this number to boost income, using this project as a training ground for children in animal husbandry and entrepreneurship. The older youth can volunteer to become involved in maintaining and operating the pig farm, including tasks such as cleaning, feeding, and washing the pigs. These projects not only contributed to our self-sufficiency but also provided practical skills and education for the children.
