Sebeta Biofarm

Securing income for marginalised small farmers and disabled people through integrated organic farming methods

In this phase of the project, the Sebeta Biofarm will be expanded with additional components such as a biogas facility. Employees of local partner organisations are trained to operate the biofarm and to become agriculturally and financially more productive in a sustainable way.

 

The Sebeta Biofarm will be expanded as a training and model farm for neighbouring farmers and also countrywide for disabled people in a rural context. The participants also receive material input, which, alongside expert supervision ensures that knowledge learned can be applied on the farms and passed on to neighbouring farmers.

 

Alongside practical work and theoretical teaching in organic farming, the participants are also taught life skills. Important topics in particular are HIV/Aids, family planning and awareness creation to prevent sexual exploitation of disabled women.
