The community of Kyuso District has really been affected by the change in the climate change in the area. This has led to their failure in the agricultural sector in the area. It has made the people in the area to have low yield harvest and therefore increasing the rate of hunger and poverty in the region. Different organizations have now come up to aid in the fight against hunger.
The Arid Lands Information Network-East Africa is helping in the passing of information and new technologies to the community on how they may be able to improve in their farming activities. The Action Aid among other NGOs has really helped the community by provide a service they call food for work initiative this is where the community organize themselves into small groups, work in their farms as a group and then they are paid at the end of the month.
This has encouraged the farmers and now they can work in their farms therefore improving their farm products. The new farming technology they use for example the use of terracing as been adapted by many farmers in the area. They are also planting drought resistant crops such as the cassava which helps in ensuring there is no food insecurity.
This is great, continue sharing....
