At 45, Iness Siambula, a vegetable farmer from Sioni Village in Mangonda Ward, Zimba District, cares for seven children aged 7–26, her mother and a person living with a disability.

Before LIFT-Zambia, Iness farmed along a stream that dried up around July. She relied on buckets to water a small garden, a difficult task because of problems with her legs.

After joining the LIFT-Zambia Program, Iness attended trainings and invited project officers to conduct practical demonstrations in her field. She learned to construct a check dam to preserve water and received a water pump, allowing her to expand her garden and making irrigation easier—even her seven-year-old son can now help.

Through mulching and using animal manure, she retains moisture for longer and irrigates less frequently. She now saves about K2,000 every week from vegetable sales and, for the first time, is moulding bricks to build a house for her family. She also uses the pump to make mortar for the bricks.

The knowledge has extended to her field crops, where she now practices crop rotation, intercropping, ripping, erosion control, water management and planting early-maturing varieties suited to local rainfall.

From water challenges to saving money and building a home, Iness’s story shows the power of knowledge, practical support and climate-smart agriculture.

“I want to thank the LIFT-Zambia Program. Please continue training us farmers so that we can improve our lives.”
