The “St Joseph’s Agricultural Project was conceived and developed with the objective of developing and sustaining skills of disabled learners living and studying at St Joseph’s Boarding House. The goal was to upgrade the farm at St Joseph into a more proeductive agricultural farm.

The lack of an irrigation system makes us rely on rainwater during the summer season.

We do hope that by installing an irrigation system we would be able to produce vegetables even during the dry winter season.

As soon as we received the first rains, we immediately began with maize production. The entire production, from preparation to harvest was a huge success. Everything unfolded according to schedule.

We continued to observe a significant drop in the Boarding Hostel’s food budget. This gives us hope that the Boarding Hostel will continue to exist and serve children with disabilities in the country through the benefits of this project.
