Story from the field
Kelvin Rajabu — Engosengiu Primary School.
A 12-year-old, a stone bed, and a well.
Kelvin Rajabu is a 12-year-old student at Engosengiu Primary School in Arusha — and an active participant in the Vegetables for All ecosystem. Armed only with seeds and the nutritional literacy gained at his school club, he autonomously designed, built, and managed a home garden.
He physically built the stone bed himself. He manually retrieves water from a local well twice a day — morning and night. And he has successfully cultivated nutrient-dense crops including spinach and bananas.
A 12-year-old is making nutrition profitable for his family. That is the goal of every WOHEEA programme — not aid received, but agency exercised.
