  The well is taking longer than expected, but we are making steady progress. As we dig deeper, we have passed through different soil layers and found a few small water-bearing layers, giving us hope that the main water table is near. Following the experts' advice, we recently shared an update on our GoFundMe explaining what is needed next. Thank you to everyone who has donated. Your support is making this possible. If you can help again, even with a small donation, we would be deeply gratefu...

  Hi to our #donors and well-wishers, We have posted a new update on our fundraiser. We have also reactivated our fundraiser again as we continue working toward completing the project. We have reached the stage where things have become harder to break through, even though we are close to the finish line. The update explains everything that is happening on the ground, and we hope that, with your continued support, we can get through this stage. Thank you again for your generous support.https:...

  On another note, we always welcome #nature to our farm. This young chameleon is a special visitor, We have now found him or her on our land three different times, yet we are not sure why, unless they keep the wondering here by mistake🥹 Do you think seeing a chameleon is just a coincidence, or does it say something about the health of the environment? #naturephotography #wildlife #biodiversity #ProtectNatureNow #chamelion

  The clay bricks have arrived at the well site. These high-quality bricks are suitable for water proofing the well and anywhere where there is water. It took us time to find the right ones, but the search was worth it👍 To all our #donors your support is making a huge difference as you can see from the progress we have so far at the well site, thank you once again for standing with us. #mastonews #foodsecurity #regenerativeagriculture #solarpunk #gardening

  Our water well project has now reached a more challenging stage. The team has encountered large stones underground, including one so heavy that it took four people working together to turn the pulley and remove it. Today marks Day 5 since the project began. We are deeply grateful to everyone standing with us. Your support is making a real difference and helping this work move forward on the ground. We continue to welcome and appreciate every contribution to our fundraiser as we get closer to s...

  Happy weekend everyone🙋 Thank you to everyone who has supported our water well fundraiser💪 Because of your kindness, we have already passed 50% of our goal! We hope to begin the water well project next week, but we still need help raising the remaining funds. Every donation brings us closer to water well ownership 💪, gives our crops a chance to survive, and stops our dreams from fading inside us. Please share our fundraiser if you can it also makes a huge difference. Together, we can turn h...

  Our crops are slowly fading because our land has no reliable water source. Each dry day threatens the harvest, weakens our mission, and puts years of hard work at risk. We refuse to give up on our dream of growing nutritious food, empowering young people through sustainable agriculture, and protecting our environment. And so we decided to come back and share with you what we are passing through, and here your donation, no matter the amount, will help us secure a reliable water source, save o...

  Hi, #Mastodon family Once again, we are reaching out with hope. First, thank you to everyone who helped us purchase our land which now belongs to us, and we are deeply grateful for your support. Today, we are launching a new fundraiser for the next important step: digging a permanent water well on our farm. We have tried several ways to secure water, but they haven't been reliable. A well will provide a sustainable water source, helping us grow food, care for our projects, and empower...

  The smaller the piece of land you have, the greater the effort you should put into it. With good care and hard work, even a small piece of land can produce high-quality yields. A word from one of our #agriculture teachers in high school. #ecosystem #biodiversity #EcoFriendly

  We worked together with the pupils and the staff of Jerome Nursery and Primary School to harvest our maize, which was ready for harvest. ¥¥The best part is that we donated all of it to the school. As one of our partner schools, we are happy to be supporting each other! The donated maize will be milled into flour, which will provide meals for the school for several weeks.💪 @sustainable_schools@mas.to 💪 #foodsecurity #education #farmingdairy #SustainableAgriculture

  The so-called ordinary people #farmers, are quietly feeding the nation and welcoming visitors with fresh, naturally grown food. Drive just outside Kampala, and you will find local markets like this, where many travelers stop to buy healthy produce. More people are choosing fresh local food over processed junk food a choice that benefits their health while supporting the hardworking farmers who grow it. Every purchase at a local market helps nourish families, strengthen communities, and sust...

  Rain has totally ghosted us on this side. Thankfully, our banana plantation is still doing well😊 2 days ago we removed unwanted weeds, and we are preparing to harvest our maize which is now ready. We plan to use the maize stalks as mulches, which will help keep moisture in the #soil, protect the roots from strong sunshine, and improve soil health during this dry period #regenerativefarming #hiddenhunger #foodsecurityinnovations #sustainableproject

  People are fed by the food industry, which pays no attention to health, and are treated by the health industry, which pays no attention to food. >>Who are we supposed to blame? #foodsecurity #nutritionist #gardening #foodismedicine

  We found six soft-shelled eggs in our garden as we were ploughing. Yes, we guessed they might belong to some animals, birds, or invertebrates, but our own expectations were not satisfying....🤦 Can anyone say something about these small eggs that are found in sand or soft soil? #Nature #Biodiversity #naturequestion #gardening #farming

  Today, young people came together with great energy and teamwork to plant trees and restore our environment. This activity shows how the youth are not only the leaders of tomorrow but also the changemakers of today. Each tree planted is a step toward a cleaner, greener, and healthier planet for all. Let’s keep inspiring others to join hands in protecting Mother Earth. #TreePlanting #YouthForClimate #EcoAction #Environment #Sustainability #UgandaEcoYouths #ClimateAction #GreenGeneration

  Hi #Mastodon family some people have been asking why we don’t post the maize on our land hhh. So here it is, our maize field looks all green and healthy 😉. And the funny part is 🌽😂 the maize we gave the least attention is now among the most developed around us. Harvest time is getting closer and we can’t wait to share with the community 😉 In #Africa maize are used to make posho, a common school meal. Fresh maize can also be roasted or boiled and tastes great 😉. #foodproduction #africanfood

  Hi #Mastodon folks 😊 come smile with usʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ Today we revisited our banana plantation after mulching, and it’s thriving. The land gives us such good vibes green, healthy, and full of life. We are really very happy to see we are on the way to our dreams: becoming a strong support for our community through #foodproduction , uplifting our mothers, children, and ourselves as we fight #hiddenhunger.🍌 #BananaPlantation #FoodSecurity #EndHunger #CommunitySupport #EcoYouth #GrowTogether

  We successfully completed mulching our banana plantation, and the plants are now well organized. This was not easy for us because it was challenging to find enough grass for mulching, but we are happy we managed to finish it. Mulching helps in keeping moisture in the soil, improves soil fertility, reduces weed growth, and protects the plants from strong sun and heavy rain. This helps the bananas grow healthier and stronger. #BananaFarming #SustainableFarming #Mulching #ClimateSmartAgriculture

  Hi everyone, we need advice from #farmers. We’re not experienced with growing potatoes. We found many already planted on our land, and now they’re flowering. We added soil around each plant as recommended just recently, but we are not sure what to do next. We really want a healthy first harvest 😊 Any guidance is welcome #Farming #Potatoes #Agriculture #FoodSecurity #Learning #Uganda #SustainableFarming

  RE: https://mas.to/@econetwork/115852750857850004 We already have crops like bananas, cassava, sweet potatoes, and maize on our land. However we do not yet have vegetables like tomatoes because they need a steady water supply, and we are still figuring out where we can reliably get water for irrigation.

  We are excited to share what is growing on our land Though we recently planted new bananas, we already have some ready to eat fresh and truly ours 💪We also have maize (corn) a staple crop with golden kernels, great for food and flour, It is widely used by schools, and where its flour is cooked into posho, a common and filling meal. We are grateful for the rains still blessing our land as our bananas continue to grow strong.🍌 🌽 #FarmingLife #Gratitude #SustainableLiving #Harvest #Blessed #EYN

  As we step into the Easter vibes, we first had to focus on one important task making terraces on our land. The heavy waters from the surrounding hills have been washing away our fertile topsoil, which is vital for farming. We worked hard and succeeded. And seeing our bananas growing healthy and beautiful made us so happy it feels like they truly loved our land.💪 #EasterVibes #SustainableFarming #ClimateAction #SoilConservation

  Yesterday we held a colorful tree-planting program in the Lunnya the small town Together with pupils from Lwamata Primary School in Lunnya, we walked through the the community carrying tree seedlings to the planting site. Along the way, many people joined and learned about our mission. Even those who didn’t know us before came to understand our work to protect the environment, fight climate change, and secure a better future through actions like tree planting. #TreePlanting #ClimateAction 1/...
