A Year Later: Growing Vegetables to Pay School Fees!


"To get water from this water point was so scary because there was a lot of bush surrounding the spring, and inside was a big snake. I would not go to get water alone," said 15-year-old Brenda.

"Now, I don't fear going to the spring because the area around the spring was cleared during implementation, and it looks smart."

Brenda continued, "[With] the help of my parents, I have started a small vegetable garden. To add on that when the vegetables are ready, I will sell and get money which will pay my school fees and buy some textbooks. My performance will improve."

Hopefully, this new vegetable garden will help Brenda work towards a bright academic future.
