Immaculate - HOW I AM ABLE TO FEND FOR MY SEVEN MEMBER FAMILY

Immaculate appreciates ACF and TASET for the support it is rendering in vegetable growing and mindset change within Boroli settlement. Before to this program, Immaculate could hardly find enough food for her 7-member household.

WHY: I used to spend most of my money from food ratio on buying greens from the market but after joining ACF program in January, I attended mindset change training with TASET Organization which gave me a motivation to address the food shortage challenges.

HOW: After the mindset change training, I was changed and ready to transform my life. After ACF trained me on how to grow and manage vegetables. I received seeds of my own interest from ACF, which I planted in the limited area around my homestead (30m*30m).

Result: I was surprised by the harvest I got from the small piece of land. This has steered my interest in backyard gardening and I have no plans of looking back. The vegetables have provided my household of seven with different varieties of food, the excess harvest is sold, the money used to buy other necessities, and the remaining portion is saved in VSLO.
