BALA TESTIMONIALS
120 received in August 2014
Many were pregnant and 110 have already delivered.
As Charles excitedly announced, “We’re kicking out poverty with bumper yields!"
Maize has in some cases gone from 6 to 10 sacks.
Sesame from 1 to 4 sacks.
A few are mixing with cow manure when possible, doubling their crop yields.
Margaret
got sick and was able to get proper hospital care thanks to income from her crop yield.
OBER BAR
exploded from 134(already facilitated) to 801 members in 30 groups.
Whaaaat?
Thank goodness 90% of the 134 are pregnant!
The grandmothers’ group was first to receive in 2013 and many were ready to pay forward during our visit.
Augustin
A bittersweet story.
He never believed he would get a goat in his long, hard life.
Then the first off-spring was strangled on his tether while Augustin was away.
A second baby died in miscarriage.
Meanwhile his banana yields had increased to 3 times more than before!
His goat got pregnant again, delivered twins and then died.
The babies are the joy of his life!

Our favourite grandmother.
86 years old and looking forward to a great crop yield.
Those strong young boys being raised by these hard-working women better be right beside her doing the heavy lifting and labour or they will have me to answer to!
Looking forward to hugging her again next year!
She's the one sitting beside me on the first page of our website.
Susan
following the GP outline of making compost ("a hole like the ones we dig to make banana beer - the size of an arm" she said.)
collect all kinds of manure and fruit cuttings
cover with soil
repeat each day
when hole is full, cover with soil
wait about 2 months - you have black gold
compress and smash the lumps out
tried sesame in small piece of barren land behind the house
battered by hail but it had grown "to be as tall as me!"
