Boost youth employment

“Most young people think farming is for old people and for those in the countryside, but farming is important because it is one way of earning a living - you don’t have to get employment from elsewhere to earn your own money. It is important because if young people get involved in farming, they will not have a problem getting food and they won’t have to spend money to buy it.”

“I have worked with Farm Africa for two years. The best thing is they keep training us and giving us more skills in business. With Farm Africa's support I now supply veterinary supplies to the communities, and I encourage the communities in other businesses like selling milk and educate them in setting up businesses.”

“Farms are getting smaller. Parents had bigger pieces of land, which are now getting sub-divided between the children. If I split my land between my two sons, there would be very little land. It wouldn’t be productive. The children will not be able to meet their basic needs from the land, they’d have to leave farming and find alternative work for survival.”
