"I used to depend on rain-fed farming to feed my family. Whenever the rains failed, my crops failed too and i did not have any other source to feed my family. Through ADSE's trainings, I established a small kitchen garden and today I have expanded to one hectare of irrigated farming. My family has fresh vegetables that are highly nutritive, I earn an income from selling the surplus and I can now support my grandchildren's education. Farming has changed my life."
