'Before I joined the project, seed was like Pythagoras theorem. I am glad we have a working seed system. In Tharaka, we only think of money & that is why young people prefer seed pdn to grain pdn since the former has more money.'
Simon Kinyua, CIO, Tharaka Nithi

Day 2: The afternoon session featured Field Admin issues where the CIOs were taken through the revised TORs for the TOTs.

Then, a refresher course on Gender & Youth Inclusion & VSLA & Financial Inclusion.

Day 2: The County Implementing Officers share their experiences, lessons learned, & best practices from their counties.

Testimonies today are so focused on God meeting carnal needs.
People hardly share testimonies of victory over sin, self, the world and the devil.

People are not experiencing testimonies that have relevance beyond this present life.

On this #MashujaaDay2023 , we continue to empower young people to embrace agriculture, turning it into a flourishing agribusiness that secures a sustainable source of income.
