Forest Gardens - Simiyu Region

One of the most common fruit trees in our Forest Gardens is the papaya.
Farmers love it because it grows fast, provides food throughout the year, and brings extra income to their households—all while helping improve the soil and shade for other crops.

44% of our farmers are women, who have become the backbone of agricultural communities, leading the path to food security and economic stability for their families and communities.
