A glimpse into life in Zimbabwe

A glimpse into life in Zimbabwe

Pamsasa Hous was a beautiful oasis to provide respite during our hectic trip to organize the farm. We hosted the Christmas party for employees and the women of the Zimbabwe Farm Project. We will post photos of that event later. We were blessed with lots of sunshine, beautiful skies washed clean by the rains, luminous clouds dotting the blue. December is still part of the rainy season, but it was intermittent. Because of this and despite the ongoing drought, everything was lush and verdant. December, January, February, and March then April and May weather feels like Spring in the States without rain showers. It is also cool at night, and in fact I wore a jacket when venturing out during the evenings and at night. Its quite warm, some would complain that it is hot in September and October, but it is wonderful to me because I love the heat, but than landscape is so much more dramatic and green during and right after the rainy season which I recommend as the best time to visit.

They are solely responsible for all farming activities from ploughing to planting, hiring day laborers for planting and harvesting, sales and disbursement of funds to cover wages and other expenditures. Through this partnership they have realized self-sufficiency, helped others in the community by providing jobs, and helped to mitigate some of the food insecurity issues through the harvest. Through this partnership they have realized self-sufficiency, helped others in the community by providing jobs, and continue to be an integral component of our efforts to mitigate some of the food insecurity issues in the community. The Zimbabwe Farm Project is a non-profit charity that implemented an aid model which foster independence, responsibility, and self-reliance. Though partially funded from the proceeds of my IT consultancy, they have become more independent as funds have been generated from the sale of produce.

The project has prospered, there have been a lot of lessons learned, which are being used to adjust program objectives in achieving food security and employment in the community. We continue to practice sustainable agriculture techniques growing crops dedicated to feeding the chickens, as well as planting macadamia orchards. The Zimbabwe Farm Project team has done and continues to exceed expectations in delivering life empowering solutions to self-improvement and sufficiency.
