Nestled in the Westernmost corner of Uganda, Olyeko village is home to families who make their living through small-scale farming. People in this region grow crops, keep livestock, and raise bees to sustain themselves. However, residents of Olyeko village still face many challenges that cause poverty and food-insecurity to be a daunting issue.
Farmers lack the infrastructure and training to get the most for their crops and find themselves yielding less than what they need. Unfavorable weather conditions wash away or dry up their farms on a regular basis. Fighting against poverty, families here face additional challenges due to a lack of local healthcare facilities and must travel a great distance to get proper care.
Also out of reach are proper education systems, so most children drop out after elementary school. There is also a lack of clean water. Without accessible safe water to drink, many residents find themselves suffering from water-borne disease.
The need is great, but there is hope. Farmland is ready to be used, wells can be dug, and schools can be built. All the tools and training needed to change lives is just at their fingertips.
