Welcome to Shamba Shape Up Uganda!

Today we’re in Bulika village in Mukono and we’re visiting farmer Olivia Kiwombeeka. A very hard-working lady and mother to 14 children. She has a 4-acre farm where she grows coffee, bananas, sweet potatoes, cassava, beans! And don’t forget the cows, the pigs, the goats, the chicken, the pigeons!!!

Where does she find the energy???

In this farm we are learning about:

1. Soil fertility and manure drying and soil testing

2. Pests and diseases control in Coffee plantation

3. Bananas: Good farming practices
