Even in the midst of the worst drought Zambia has seen in over 40 years, the African Vision of Hope Conservation Farm is producing bountifully. Mwala, the Farm Manager, reported on the Farm’s September harvests.

Mwala is using conservation techniques such as reservoirs and trenches to ensure that the Farm will survive through the tough months to come. The Farm not only sells food at local markets, but it also uses profits to send local children to school and also contributes food to the African Vision of Hope school lunch program. By supporting African Vison of Hope, you are supporting sustainable agriculture and combating starvation!
