🌾 POST HARVEST TECHNOLOGY FIELD DAY 🌾

Farmers in Chunga Ward recently gathered for a successful Post-Harvest Technology Field Day — a practical learning platform where communities, Extension Officers, and stakeholders came together to exchange knowledge on crop preservation and sustainable farming practices. 👩🏾‍🌾🌱

The field day focused on teaching farmers how to safely preserve harvested crops for longer storage using affordable and traditional methods. Farmers demonstrated biological grain treatment techniques using ash and a local herb known as sozwe in Tonga — methods that are environmentally friendly and cost effective. 🌿

The event, funded by Basilwizi Trust, highlighted the importance of preserving food after harvest to improve household food security and reduce losses. District Agritex Officer, Mr. Ndlovu, encouraged communities to continue using low-cost traditional preservation methods that are accessible to every farmer.

Chief Siamupa also applauded the initiative for empowering communities with practical skills that strengthen resilience and protect harvests for future use. 💚

✨ “Preserving the harvest is just as important as growing the crop.”

🌱 GREENING THE ENVIRONMENT IN MBIRE 🌳

The Kariba REDD+ Project (KRP) continues to transform communities through environmental conservation initiatives in Mbire District. Two thriving tree nurseries — Shange Camp in Ward 3 and Mazikana Tree Nursery in Ward 10 — are producing a variety of seedlings every year for distribution to communities, schools, and health institutions.

Among the proud beneficiaries are Tanaka Primary School and Majongwe Primary School, which have embraced tree planting and environmental stewardship with great enthusiasm. 🌿

🌳 Tanaka Primary School planted Neem trees donated by Mazikana Tree Nursery, while
🍈 Majongwe Primary School planted pawpaw seedlings from Shange Tree Nursery.

The results have been inspiring. These schools now enjoy a greener and healthier environment, providing shade, beauty, and environmental benefits for learners and staff. Even more exciting, Majongwe Primary School has already started harvesting pawpaws, with the fruits being enjoyed by both pupils and teachers.

This initiative is not only beautifying school environments — it is also teaching children the importance of environmental conservation, nutrition, and sustainability. 🌍💚

“Planting a tree today is investing in a greener tomorrow.”

🌧️ RAIN SEASON CHALLENGES IN MBİRE 🌍
Resilience in the Face of Nature’s Toughest Conditions

The rainy season in Mbire brings life — but it also comes with serious challenges for communities. From floods and wildlife conflicts to dangerous river conditions, many families face risks that threaten both livelihoods and safety.

March alone highlighted the severity of these challenges:
⚠️ A woman was seriously injured by a crocodile along the Hunyani River
🐘 In Ward 3, elephants destroyed an entire sorghum field belonging to a local farmer
🌊 Flash floods along the Msengezi River submerged crops and trees, including the Chidzumo moringa plantation

These events leave many households vulnerable, affecting food security and community well-being.

Despite this, there is hope. 💚
MRDC Game Scouts, with support from Carbon Green Africa (CGA) under the Kariba REDD+ Project, are working tirelessly to protect communities by:
✔️ Educating villagers on how to deter elephants
✔️ Warning against crossing or approaching flooded rivers
✔️ Conducting patrols to monitor wildlife, remove snares, and prevent poaching

Their efforts are helping communities stay informed, prepared, and safer during these difficult times.

“Awareness and preparedness can save lives.”

Together, through collaboration and continued support, Mbire communities are building resilience against environmental challenges. 🌿

🌱 IMPROVING LIVELIHOODS THROUGH VEGETABLE PRODUCTION 🌱
Blessed Garden Leading the Way in Binga District

Agriculture continues to be a powerful driver of food security, and income generation, in rural communities. Across the project area, farmers are transitioning from subsistence to semi-commercial farming, building resilience and reducing dependency on external support.

One inspiring example is Blessed Garden in Binga District, supported by Carbon Green Africa (CGA) through the Kariba REDD+ Project. Through continuous training and support from KRP field officers and Agritex, farmers have gained the skills and knowledge to grow and manage diverse crops all year round.

This past month was especially rewarding 💪 — farmers worked tirelessly, planting, managing, harvesting, and supplying vegetables to markets both within and beyond the project area. The garden produced a wide range of crops including tomatoes and covo.

This income is transforming lives — enabling families to pay school fees, buy household essentials, and improve their overall well-being.

Today, Blessed Garden stands as a beacon of hope and self-reliance, proving that with the right support, knowledge, and determination, communities can build sustainable livelihoods and secure their future. 🌍💚

🌳 Sustainable Forest Management in Action🌳

Tree planting continues to grow as a powerful community movement in Zimbabwe, bringing people together to restore forests, protect biodiversity, and fight climate change. By absorbing carbon dioxide and improving environmental conditions, trees are not just plants — they are lifelines for future generations.

Since 2011, Carbon Green Africa (CGA) through the Kariba REDD+ Project has been driving these initiatives across schools, clinics, and communities — turning local areas into eco-friendly hubs of sustainability.

CGA’s Operations team partnered with an Agritex Officer in Negande Ward 5 for a tree-planting day at Malembeja Primary School. 🌱 A total of 30 seedlings, including fruit trees, were planted with the active participation of pupils, teachers, parents, and the school leadership.

What made this moment truly special?
👉 Each child adopted a tree and pledged to care for it — even during school holidays.

This initiative is more than just planting trees — it is about instilling a culture of environmental stewardship, empowering young minds to protect nature and build a greener future.

“Today’s learners are tomorrow’s environmental guardians.”

Together, we are growing forests, nurturing knowledge, and building resilient communities. 🌍💚

🌿 Reviving Agriculture Education at Chikova Secondary School 🌿

What was once an underutilised school garden has now become a centre of learning, food security, and transformation at Chikova Secondary School in Hurungwe Ward 9.

After facing challenges with agriculture teachers, the school garden remained idle for some time. However, through collaboration between the School Development Committee (SDC) and the community, the garden was revived — and with support from Carbon Green Africa (CGA) through the Kariba REDD+ Project, everything changed.

Through KRP trainings, both students and community members realised the true value of the garden. This sparked the revival of the school’s agriculture department, turning the garden into a practical learning hub where students now carry out real agricultural activities instead of relying on theory alone. 📚🌱

The impact has been remarkable:
✅ Students gain hands-on agricultural skills
✅ Improved chances of better academic results
✅ The garden provides maize, vegetables, and tomatoes for school meals
✅ Access to clean water through a solarised borehole and a 147,000L storage tank

The garden is no longer just a project — it is the school’s main food basket and learning centre.

“Without this garden, we wouldn’t have the resources or practical knowledge we have today,” shared one student.

Chikova Secondary School stands as a powerful example of how sustainable projects can transform education and livelihoods at the same time. 🌍💚
