📸Chayabou is one of hundreds of farmers in #Niger boosting his harvests with half-moon farming.
Agricultural productivity has increased 🌱 up to 3 times, and in Chayabou's hometown of Rafa, child malnutrition has nearly been eliminated.💪

Help me spread the news, our target is creating vegetable gardens in 200 Ugandan schools in 2023.
ALT Youth Future Farmers of Africa (YoFFA) Uganda is a student organization for students studying agricultural education at a secondary/high school level. YoFFA's mission is to empower students to become future leaders of Uganda’s agriculture sector through hands-on agricultural learning experiences, leadership & career development opportunities. To achieve this, we partner with partner secondary schools in Uganda to create a YoFFA chapter that supports hands-on Food Education and Youth Development activities. In 2023, we want to expand this program to 200 secondary schools and it is our humble appeal requesting you to donate to Youth Future Farmers of Africa, which is doing a tremendous job of providing opportunities for quality education, ensuring food security among vulnerable students, and training the future leaders of Uganda.
