Megan Blackburn's involvement (page creator)

When I was 18 I spend 5 months teaching sustainable organic farming to children and adults in Nakaloke, Uganda. Richard Mwima was the key informer on the program, which meant as a local resident he introduced us to groups in the community. Richard and I became friends while I was working as a volunteer in Nakaloke and since my time there we have stayed in contact. Richard is involved in many initiatives to help reduce poverty and help bring prosperity to the village, including doing agriculture course, continuing teaching sustainable organic farming in the community and helping those who suffer, including working with orphans and vulnerable children. Richard is a truly amazing person who I would like to help with your support.

Use of funds

The funds will go towards a group of farmers to buy the following supplies and help them to get started: 5 suits, 5 smokers, 5 sets of gumboots, 10 modern hives and a demonstration on bee keeping at the Apiary Farm in Nakaloke.
