— Voices From The Field

What farmers are telling us.

“Before DAMAL, my land sat dry half the year. Now I harvest tomatoes every month and pay my children's school fees from the farm.”
Faadumo H.
Greenhouse farmer, Afgooye

“The training changed how we grow. Sack gardens at home mean my family eats fresh vegetables every week — even in the dry season.”
Khadija A.
Women's cooperative, Baidoa

“DAMAL's vet team saved my herd. They came at night, treated the goats, and taught me how to spot the signs early.”
Cabdi M.
Livestock owner, Lower Shabelle
