Yesterday, 25th May, saw the graduation of 18 trainees after 5 months of an intense agriculture course. These trainees are full of enthusiasm as they begin work as farmers.
They have been trained from scratch, from preparation of the compost and the land up to harvesting of watermelons, sweet melons, tomatoes, onions, squash etc. They relied on the support of all the members of SITFA (Saint Isidore’s Turkana Farmers Association) who assisted at the graduation as well as they were holding their semestral workshop. The 18 new graduates have registered as members also of this farmers association of Turkana North, the first of its kind. Also, we had the visit of the chief officer of the Ministry of Agriculture accompanied by other County officials.
We wish all the graduates well.
