“Africa windmill project held trainings to support area villages, ministries within the government, and local organizations. Although africa windmill project continued to provide irrigation trainings a majority of our trainings focused on food security and garden management. We focused on education in the areas of garden preparation, planting, fertilizing, weeding, pest control, proper irrigation and harvesting, farm management and planning and field to market opportunities. Africa windmill project's key performance indicators in 2016: farmers continue to be completely self-sufficient, gardens had grown 5 fold, farmers' income had greatly increased (in some cases the annual household income had gone from less than 150usd to well over 1200). The farmers (men and women) continued save a portion of the income from the previous growing seasons to provide for start up costs for their next season garden. They also stored grain for food security later in the year and for staggered sales to local markets to increase their income. They used the income to improve their living conditions, replacing roofs, flooring, sun dried bricks with fired bricks, adding doors and windows, digging domestic wells close to family compounds. These farmers also built larger grain storage buildings and used the income for educational and medical expenses for their children. Farmers that graduated from the trainings have not experienced food shortage. Agriculture clubs have continued to work with other farmers within their village and from neighboring villages, training and teaching them about what they have learned and implemented in their gardens. Sharing irrigation pumps, seeds, fertilizer and even in some cases labor. Successful farmers have begun helping neighboring communities establish agriculture clubs. Although africa windmill project continued to be in contact with the agriculture clubs it was no longer our staff teaching basic sustainable agriculture (they were handling those trainings individually), but we had begun assisting with growth inquiries and support as these farmers were going from small sustenance farmers with a 1/4 acre family garden to that of a farm operation with over an acre of planting year-round. Farmers successfully have made these increases at their own initiative. Africa windmill project has begun providing input loans to agriculture clubs to help them increase their gardens in the way of fertilizer or seed. Africa windmill project has received 100% return on these loans by way of financial payback on loan or agriculture yields used to payback loan. For instance a farmer can pay their loan off in currency or in corn. The agriculture club structure was utilized so that each village managed their own loan and the club as a group was financially responsible. Africa windmill project has also developed a training manual to maximize the efficiency and results of our trainings, also to provide other organizations with a guide on how to follow our process and see success within their communities. Africa windmill project completed the resilience innovation challenge 4 food security and improved income generation (ric4fig) grant from usaid/university of pretoria - sa rilab, as part of the resilientafrica network striving to strengthen the resilience of african communities. Africa windmill project continues to raise awareness in the united states about sustainable support that empowers families to become self-sufficient and self fed in africa. Our slogan "end hunger: grow food" is relevant to concerns within the us and all over the globe. Approximately 1,136 volunteer hours were contributed for the running and operational efforts of this program.”
