FOOD SECURITY FOR HOUSEHOLD POVERTY ALLEVIATION


PAZESA Horticultural Community has embarked on mitigating the socio-econonimical impact of HIVAIDS AND POVERTY through facilitation of irrigated food production techniques to GRAND MOTHERS' households keeping orphans and vulnerable children, youths and  women  in chiparamba area of Chipata District of Zambia
The organisation trains and empowers families to replicate their harvest through conservative irrigation farming and  horticulture. This has enabled 200 households to live sustainably with adquate household owned food security all year round, increased income through sale of green maize (off season) and vegetables. The families who used to eat once the other day are able to have 3 meals per day, build better houses, pay for school fees for their children and most interesting adopt some (desserted) orphans into their homes.
BUT HOW? 
This has been possible through financial, technical and material support from Firelight Foundation of California in the  USA, TIDES Foundation (USA) and the Global Giving
The organisation empowers families with the skills and resources (seeds and the money maker treaddle pumps) and urges the community to effectively utilise the ever neglected wetlands for food production.
Viable and sustainable integrated horticulture, FISH FARMING and irrigatition farming is the answer and sure weapon with which to effectively alleviate poverty and food insecurity in africa.

EMPOWER AFRICAN GRAND MOTHERS! TO END POVERTY AND  HUNGER- THROUGH VIABLE AND SUSTAINABLE IRRIGATION FARMING  AND FISH FARMING!
