By constructing important infrastructure like gutters, rainwater tanks, and dams for small-scale irrigation, locals can harvest rainwater for drinking, sanitation, and crops for family consumption or to sell as additional income. The project also provides beneficiaries with seedlings for fruit trees. This helps diversify their crops and combat the disastrous effects of deforestation and land degradation.
The Generate project aims to select beneficiaries from three groups:
- Faithful pastors, evangelists and emerging leaders, most of whom receive little or no income from their ministry
- Vulnerable people: persecuted believers from Muslim backgrounds, widows, orphans, and internally displaced people
- Local schools
Your support is impacting people like Galgalo, a church worker from a Marsabit parish. He was given improved maize seeds to cultivate which yielded excellent harvests. He was able to share his produce and seeds with neighbours.
He said: “The seeds that we received are a good variety that can cope well in our area and it has been a great help to me and by extension to my neighbours. My family is well fed even during drought. I sold some maize and used the money to buy other necessities for my household.”
