My name is Khumbidze and my
father is Kandodo. When Africa Windmill Project came to
start irrigation farming in our area looking at the
problem I was having I wanted to join the club and I was
accepted. That is why you see the farm behind me. And my
crops have not done well because I did not have
fertilizer and pest control but as you can see I have
managed to plant good crops as you can look at me I am
an old women I came to this area in 1950 but I have had
problems in farming but I want to continue learning with
Africa Windmill Project because I do not want to depend
on other people to grow food for me I don’t have a
family for 41 years now my husband died I have six
children that I have raised on my own … I have never
been in school and in those days schools were far from
where we were living even my children have not gone to
school because I could not raise fees for them and I
have just raised them through farming … the coming of
Africa Windmill Project has helped me to access markets
and has helped me feed my self … I want to use the
savings to buy fertilizer so that I can have food
throughout the year when I grow up land without
fertilizer do not have enough food to feed my self … I
want to have a good house apart from having food, if I
am talking about a good house I am want a house with
iron roof sheets … I want Africa Windmill Project to
continue to help us with marketing so we sell our crops
at higher prices … my last words are I want Africa
Windmill Project to continue with the trainings for us …
thank you very much.
