Harvesting Casava
USAID FED partners with the Tohnlo Women’s Association in cassava farming in order to increase the crop’s production and profitability while placing emphasis on women and youth.
USAID FED provided cassava cuttings, tools, boots, a wheel barrow and agriculture training. In mid-2013, the women harvested the cassava, and processed it into more valuable products like gari, bread and soap, all skills that some women and girls learned living in refugee camps. The money collected from the first harvest was used to purchase training material to improve Tohnlo’s courses in cassava processing, baking, soap-making, hairstyling and sewing.
