About this program

The project works with 3,100 smallholder farmers in Malawi's Karonga and Mzimba districts to strengthen food and nutrition security by improving production methods, nutrition practices and household income.

Through climate-smart agriculture training, she learned new techniques like manure making, pit planting and mulching, crop rotation and intercropping.

Today, Nelly serves as a leader in the Harvesting Prosperity and Resilience project, teaching other farmers in her district to adopt climate-resilient, labor-saving practices.
