Emerging Farmers Initiative: Empowering Youths Through Sustainable Agriculture

In the southern part of Zambia, the Sisters of the Holy Spirit have embarked on a mission to transform lives through the Emerging Farmers Initiative. Situated in Mazabuka and operating under the James Corboy Secondary School Production Unit, this Eco-friendly, integrated agricultural project empowers young people with hands-on skills to turn farming into a sustainable business. Recognizing the challenges of youth unemployment and the limitations of traditional academic paths, the initiative provides practical training in poultry farming, piggery, aquaculture, gardening, and feed production. It opens doors for students to explore agribusiness, regardless of their academic performance, creating new opportunities for self-reliance and entrepreneurship. Beyond skills development, the program emphasizes Eco-friendly farming practices, utilizing natural solutions for crop maintenance and disease treatment. This approach not only protects the environment but also inspires innovation among participants. Despite its success, the project faces challenges, including high operational costs and reliance on an unstable power grid. Yet, with the support of donors and the resilience of the sisters, it continues to thrive, providing hope and opportunities to many. This initiative is more than just a training program—it’s a lifeline for the community and a beacon of sustainable development. Discover the journey of hope and transformation below!
