Leadership Vision
With compassion and love, my vision is to reach out to as many lives as possible with the limited resources and opportunities available to me and to create an environment where love, peace, and equity reign.
Project Description
Afrofarm is a sustainable garden established with the main purpose of making little but significant contributions to food security as well as providing a means of educating local community dwellers (especially women and children) on sustainable approaches to food production using little or no cost local and waste materials. Dirt to Power Initiative is designed to bring students, professors and workers at EARTH University in contact with the local community children and women for the main purpose of producing healthy food produce and making contribution to the improvement of standard of living in the rural communities. This unique arrangement is considered a huge opportunity to create a platform for the flow of knowledge between the involved distinct groups of people. Involvement of EARTH students will serve as an important bridge gap between theories in class and practical experience as the professors provide technical guide and monitoring while the community children and women pay a periodic visit to the garden for practical training and easy replication of the demonstrative garden in their respective homes.
