A sad day in office for a farmer 😭

𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲

1. 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡:
The buyer didn't get enough information from the seller. Maybe he or she visited the Agrovet with a product in mind so ignored the advice from agronomist.
2. 𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗘𝗟:
Whoever sprayed, did not READ THE LABEL or instructions on how to use it.Agribusiness require close monitoring, sometimes you can give instructions via phone 📱 but ,how sure are that the same has been implemented?

3. 𝗣𝗢𝗢𝗥-𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗚𝗘:
Storage errors, farmers can store all types of herbicides in the same space, if the farm manager confused between the selective herbicide, non selective herbicides for maize,beans etc such incidents can occur. Buy what is enough for use,

4. 𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗬??😠:
some of the Agrodealers sometimes they don't bother to ENQUIRE from the buyer, or examine the farmer on the level of product KNOWLEDGE 🤔

5. 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗧 𝗢𝗙 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗦:
Some of the many Agrodealers are businesses, profit making sites. Good source of employment, correct. Job creation, correct. What about the EXPERIENCE? To the manager or businesses owners, do you have the best staff in listening to customers,Analysing their challenges and recommending the correct solutions? 😠 Do,you engage various suppliers to enlighten your Team? PAY ATTENTION

6 .𝗛𝗬𝗚𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗘: residues of different chemicals reacts differently, thorough cleaning of our spraying pumps or equipment is MANDATORY. No shortcut in farming,

Where is the professionalism in this sector?

FOUR YEAR OLD BOY RESCUED AFTER SIX DAYS IN TSAVO NATIONAL PARK.

A four-year-old boy who wandered kilometers toward the Tsavo East National Park was on Monday 5, rescued after spending six days in the wilderness.

According to Roan Carr-Hartley, a pilot from Sheldrick Wildlife Trust who spotted the boy from his chopper, the entire incident was a miracle.

Hartley explained that all odds were against the child, who was alone in the vast wilderness packed with wild animals.

On the fifth day, Carr-Hartley received
a call from the local chief alerting him
that footprints had been spotted 15
kilometres from the village.

He quickly got on the plane and went
out to the coordinates he was given,
and just as he was about to leave the
area, he noticed an object take cover in
the bushes.

"Four hours of scanning revealed nothing but hyenas and jackals, then I saw a tiny boy surrounded by endless wilderness. I was in shock that he was still alive and walking," Carr-Hartley stated. The boy initially cowered
away from the plane, then began darting under bushes and trees, stumbling as he walked" revealed the pilot.

The pilot made several circumnavigations to alert the search party that he had found the
boy.

However, the long trek away from
home had taken a toll on the child who
spent nights in the cold alone.

The boy was covered in mosquito
bites and scratches from the bristling
thorn bushes. His feet were blistered
and riddled with thorns and cuts.

The term ONE HEALTH stands for holistic, collaborative, multisectoral interdisciplinary approach aiming to improve global health and mitigate risks. One Health approach recognizes that the health of people is closely connected to the health of animals and our shared environment

Last week we hosted ONE HEALTH conference in Ahero and Awasi Resource Centers bringing together health professionals, community health workers, and community leaders to discuss a working formula to maximize human health, animal health, and environmental health since they are all interlinked.

Our Story

Ahero Resource Center serves as a One-Stop-Shop offering a variety of services to improve nutrition and household incomes in the community. The center comprises of a modern training facility to provide capacity building opportunities in Drought Resilient Agriculture, Entrepreneurship and Adult Education. The in-class training is complemented by practical learning on the adjacent Farmer Field School (Model Farm) which encompasses a Greenhouse, Tree Nursery and Poultry Farm that provide practical examples of modern farming practices to training participants as well as a source of nutrition and income for the Orphan Feeding Program. More than 100 school going Orphans and Vulnerable Children that have been selected by the community get a free lunch at the center to improve their health and school performance. The Ahero Resource Centre is also equipped with comprehensive rainwater harvesting infrastructure to fully utilize the short and heavy rains in the region. In addition, a solar-powered borehole provides a reliable and affordable source of safe water for the community. The water is sold in a kiosk at the center and will in the future be connected with additional water kiosks in the wider area improving the accessibility to clean and safe water for the community signiﬁcantly.

The center also hosts a Community Bank offering ﬁnancial services tailored to the needs of the local community, including saving money or issuing out loans to members. This boosts the economic activities of the over 300 bank members and provides start-up capital for entrepreneurship training and agriculture participants when needed. Community members, especially youth use the center's library for individual learning. Pupils of all ages can do their homework at the center. A projector in the training hall is connected to a Pay TV installation which is used for showing football matches on the big screen. The income generated from this and other activities cover the running costs of the center. At regular intervals, representatives from the Ministry of Health and Education, as well as local administration holds open forums for information sharing and discussion with the community at the center.
