Christopher Makana and his wife Jane Makana in their maize farm in Mumias, Kenya, on 23rd July 2016. They switched from sugar cane farming because it took 22 months to mature and payments for cane delivered to the factory always came late. Switching to maize farming has them making two harvests a year. From the proceeds of the harvests, they have been able to educate their children to the University, purchase a motorcycle
Christopher Makana and his wife Jane Makana in their maize farm in Mumias, Kenya, on 23rd July 2016. They switched from sugar cane farming because it took 22 months to mature and payments for cane delivered to the factory always came late. Switching to maize farming has them making two harvests a year. From the proceeds of the harvests, they've been able to educate their children to University, purchase a motorcycle which their son uses as a taxi and build a better house. The Makanas received training in maize farming from Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation through a program funded by Agra.
