Testimonials

“Before joining YBTFWDI, I was uncertain about my future. The 3-month training introduced me to sustainable farming practices and agribusiness management. With the support provided, I started my own vegetable farm. Today, not only do I supply fresh produce to local markets, but I've also employed two assistants. This initiative has truly changed my life.”
