This week, our team has been up and down, conducting field monitoring visits to make sure that our operations and interventions are still functional on the ground. We are visiting all of our operational areas, some of which include Kasungu, Ntchisi, Lilongwe, Salima, Nkhotakota, Dedza, Karonga, and Chitipa.

These field monitoring visits are vital because they allow us to assess the real-world impact of our community programs, from sustainable crop production to clean water access and backyard gardening initiatives. By observing these activities firsthand, we ensure that smallholder families continue to gain the skills and resources necessary to achieve long-term food security and financial independence.

Furthermore, direct engagement with lead farmers and community members gives us immediate feedback on operational challenges, enabling us to adapt quickly to changing needs on the ground.

Regular review meetings are essential for maintaining direct communication with lead farmers, aligning operational goals, and ensuring that community-based programs adapt effectively to dynamic field conditions.

This week, we held review meetings across all our operational areas. Together with our lead farmers, we addressed ongoing challenges, identified strategic opportunities, and highlighted key lessons learned to guide our future efforts.

These review meetings serve as a vital bridge between organizational oversight and community implementation. By creating an open platform for dialogue, we enable lead farmers to share grassroots realities and offer real-time updates on crop development, community participation, and local adoption rates. This direct feedback loop allows us to quickly refine strategies, reallocate resources where needed, and address emerging issues before they scale into systemic obstacles.

When our students complete their one-year residential program, we emphasize the importance of taking their second year in the field just as seriously. This second year serves as a critical phase for us to monitor their real-world application, ensuring they successfully implement the sustainable agricultural interventions learned during their time on campus.

This week, our team set out on a monitoring mission to visit all the farmers who returned home this past May. Following up after several months, we were thrilled to see most of the farmers actively practicing the techniques taught at SAFI and setting ambitious goals to expand their impact even further.

Beyond seeing their immediate achievements in the field, these follow-up visits highlight the lasting transformation taking place within their households and local communities. By putting their training into practice, from improved crop management to sustainable farming methods, these farmers are not only securing their own livelihoods but are also serving as role models and knowledge hubs for their neighbours.

HARVESTING CHANGE: TIONGE LESTEN’S JOURNEY TO TRANSFORMATION

Tionge Lesten, a wife and mother of three from Traditional Authority Mwadzama in Nkhotakota, has completely transformed her family's livelihood through agriculture. Today, she stands as a proud example of success in her community, but her journey to food security and financial independence required a complete shift in how she farmed.

Before adopting the sustainable agricultural practices promoted by SAFI, Tionge and her family struggled to get meaningful returns from their hard work. Despite cultivating a 2-acre piece of land, their yields were discouragingly low, traditionally bringing in a mere 50 pails of groundnuts, a harvest that left very little room for economic growth.

Everything changed when Tionge embraced SAFI's modern farming methods. Investing in her future, she planted 8 pails of groundnuts on that exact same 2-acre plot. The results of implementing these improved practices were immediate and staggering. This season, the very same land that once yielded only 50 pails produced an incredible 250 pails of groundnuts, marking a massive turning point for her household.

This bumper harvest has opened up exciting new doors for Tionge’s family. They have already sold 50 pails to secure immediate financial needs, leaving them with 200 pails remaining. With the proceeds from the remaining stock, the family plans to buy a motorbike to ease their everyday mobility and invest the rest as capital to start a business.

Driven by this remarkable turnaround, Tionge is already expanding her vision for the future. She plans to extend her cultivation space this year to farm 4 acres of land, aiming to double her productivity and maximize her yields for the upcoming season. On another half-acre of land, she grew Orange Fleshed Sweet Potatoes and harvested two oxcarts. By selling the sweet potato vines for K240,000, she was able to use the proceeds to buy two goats.

All of this transformation is a powerful testament to how equipping farmers with the right agricultural knowledge can permanently lift a family out of survival mode and into true economic independence.

During our recent graduation ceremony, we had the distinct honor of presenting each of our graduating students with five chickens. This meaningful gesture was made possible through the generosity and vision of Parker Horn, a former BYU intern who first joined us in Malawi in 2025. Demonstrating deep commitment to the mission of SAFI, Parker spearheaded a fundraising effort specifically aimed at providing our graduates with an immediate livestock starter pack. This initiative empowers families to enhance their household nutrition while building a foundation for greater financial stability. As our graduates set off for home, they did so with renewed hope, sustainable resources, and heartfelt gratitude for Parker’s unwavering support.

Beyond the immediate boost to household nutrition and income, this gesture serves as a sustainable stepping stone toward long-term self-reliance for our graduates. By raising and expanding their small livestock herds, these families will create ongoing economic opportunities and pass on valuable agricultural skills within their communities.
