Want to Take Action Against Food Shortage?
My Mother Land’s Agriculture project aims to be a sustainable food provider for families in the areas. Volunteers will gain experience in agriculture while helping local farmers provide food and resources for disadvantaged children in their communities.
What to expect and how you'll make an impact
Food can be scarce for those in low-income communities in Zimbabwe, and there is much to be gained by having it grown by local agriculturists. Volunteers can be a great help to farmers who need extra pairs of hands to scale their production and make their operations more efficient and sustainable. The focus of this project is to address the difficulties facing locals in the area in terms of providing a sustainable food source for the children.
As an Agriculture volunteer your tasks will depend on the season and your exact placement, which will be determined based on the needs of the local community. You should expect volunteer work to be physical and labor intensive. More experienced volunteers may be able to assist in developing the project and teaching new techniques to locals, helping them to farm their crops and animals more effectively.
