Benefits from TeleFood

Here, we are planting potatoes. You can see the tubes for drip irrigation in each furrow. Thanks to TeleFood paying for the irrigation system, we will be able to grow food most of the year. We also grow tomatoes, onions, peppers, carrots, cabbage, bananas and pawpaw.

Our teacher explains to us why fresh vegetables are so important in our diets.

Sometimes we sell produce to the local community. With the income the school can buy meat, fish and vegetables at the end of the dry season when the wells dry up and we have no more water to irrigate the garden.
