Food security

Growing beyond the rainy season

Irrigation and modern farming could help Pashello move from recurring food shortages toward a more dependable local supply.

In the Lower Shire, both drought and flooding can disrupt household food security. A reliable farming model can support programmes while building longer-term resilience.

Resilience grows when food can grow in every season.

From available land to dependable harvests

We have agricultural land available for development. We need irrigation, appropriate machinery and technical guidance to make productive use of it.

A harvest connected to care

Local production could supply feeding programmes, reduce recurring food costs and create surplus income to support essential operations.

Food security is not only a harvest. It is the ability to keep care moving through uncertainty.
