About The Project

Theopista has been growing maize and beans for some time and it has helped her meet needs of her family. She plans to expand her farming hiring more land to plant more maize. She also plans to adopt better methods of farming by planting higher yield seeds and ensuring timely weeding and applying manure and fertilizers where necessary. 

She believes that would significantly improve her income and create employment for her friends whom she sometimes employs on her gardens. 


Paying it Forward

Theopist believes her expanded farming would provide jobs for her community members because even now she employs some people during the season

Backstory
