FARMER FROM NSUTA WAWASE, GHANA
I need more funds to keep my farm going.
"My family helps me with the work in the fields, but sometimes we need to hire workers. That's always a big challenge for me and it's also very expensive. There are 13 people in our family. I am married with three sons and nine grandchildren. One of my sons is a teacher, another is a banker and the third is an electrician. I wish I had the resources to better maintain my farm and increase my income. Motorised equipment would be a big help."
