VOLUNTEERING ON FOOD-SECURITY PROJECTS

In a new MANDO initiative, farmers grow their way out of poverty. MANDO provides training, tools, non-genetically modified seeds for staples such as maize and beans as well as help selling the harvest if there is a surplus, or storing it. Volunteers would be involved with:

• recruiting Matonyok farmers to participate
• prepping land
• harrowing rows
• planting at the nursery or directly to the field
• watering crops in the nursery
• transplanting to fields
• weeding
