To gather the information a qualitative research was conducted through semi-structured interviews. The sampled was 15 households that were selected using stratified random sampling. Inductive and comparative analyse was employed to examine and discuss the data. Agriculture is the most important source of income in the community. Most of the respondents mentioned that they experienced high yields after Africare interventions because they got trainings about farming practices and soil conservation, and some inputs. They used the yield for household consumption and the surplus was sold in the market.
