Meet Yagana Alhaji Isa, a participant in our Climate-Smart Agricultural Practices (Micro-Gardening) programme under the Strengthening Community Economic Resilience (SCER) project in the Veterinary Axis community, Dalori, Jere LGA, Borno State.
With the knowledge and support provided through the project, Yagana transformed a small space in her compound into a thriving garden that now supplies fresh vegetables for her family. Beyond improving household nutrition, the garden has reduced food expenses and created an opportunity for her to earn additional income by selling surplus produce.
"Before this support, I never imagined I could grow enough food in such a small space. Now I can harvest fresh vegetables close to my home, feed my family, reduce what I spend at the market, and even sell some of what I grow. This garden has given me hope and confidence." — Yagana Alhaji Isa
Yagana's journey demonstrates how climate-smart agriculture is helping vulnerable households strengthen food security, build resilience, and create sustainable livelihoods.
Through the Strengthening Community Economic Resilience (SCER) project, implemented by Chabash Development and Health Initiative CDHI with support from United Nations OCHA Nigeria through the Nigeria Humanitarian Fund ( ), we remain committed to empowering communities with practical solutions that create lasting impact.
