A loan of $1,425 helps to buy manure and mulch to improve the soil for healthy crop growth.

Ben's story
Ben, a 42-year-old farmer from Rwambogo, Rubaare, has dedicated his life to banana farming. Farming is not just his livelihood—it’s his passion. Despite his hard work, Ben faces a major challenge: his plantation’s productivity has dropped due to poor soil health. Without intervention, his dream of expanding his farm and earning a stable income could slip away.
To turn things around, Ben is requesting UGX 5,000,000 to purchase manure and mulch. These items will help restore soil fertility and improve his harvests. With better yields, Ben hopes to increase his income and invest in a brighter future. He is deeply grateful to UGAFODE for giving farmers like him the chance to grow beyond limitations.
