Welcome to Shamba Shape Up Uganda!
Today we’re in Namang’ang’a village, in Mukono. And we’re here to meet with Robert Ssebuyungu, the chairman of a group of 30 farmers called Balikyewunya. Robert and his wife Noeline have five children. They’re both hardworking farmers who grow maize, nakati, cassava and sweet potatoes on their two acres.
