Nora Zangabeyo, social worker in South Sudan
South Sudan is one of the poorest countries in the world. The great poverty and violence mean that the everyday lives of the population are characterized by many conflicts. Women and children are particularly affected. A ray of hope in their everyday lives are the workshops supported by Mission 21 on conflict prevention and peacebuilding, as well as psychosocial support, which is more important than ever.
"Thanks to training, we harvest more and healthier vegetables and can keep our soil fertile."
Elva Apaza Quispe, farmer from Peru
Elva and her family of eight live in the high Andes at almost 4,000 meters above sea level. The land is barren and difficult to farm. Our local partner organization supports Elva Apaza with further training in sustainable agriculture. She learned how to grow more diverse crops and produce organic fertilizer in a small greenhouse. Today, Elva Apaza harvests enough vegetables to provide her family with regular, healthy meals.
"I have learned a lot and will pass it on to others."
Ladi Zachariah, farmer from Nigeria
Ladi Zachariah lives in north-eastern Nigeria. She plants beans, peanuts and maize, but the harvests are poor because global warming is causing more frequent droughts and more severe flooding. Thanks to educational opportunities offered by Mission 21's local partner organizations, Ladi Zachariah is supplementing traditional knowledge with agroecological methods. This enables her to harvest more from healthier soils and feed her family better.
