Mr. William Katende, his wife and 6 children are living at their farm about 300 meters north of the equator in eastern Uganda. For some years they have been helped by NGOs to develop their way of working more sustainably and even make a higher profit. Here they produce their own food and have become economically independent. Mr. Katende owns six hectares to grow a lot of Matoke (bananas) and everything else they need for subsistence.The family sells about 50 percent of everything they produce and gets the opportunity to buy meat, invest in things like their water tank and to pay the school fees for their kids. – Before we changed our way of working we had some serious problems with our finances. Like paying the school fees. But not we can even afford to let all our kids go to good schools. During vacation they come back home to help us at the farm, says William Katende.Twelve years ago they bought a small solar system to have some light inside and a small TV running. The sisters Cate Nabatanzi and Grace Carol Nabajja love to watch musicvideos on the TV and use to dress up to dance wile watching it or for taking a walk along the neighborhood and to the other side of the Equator.
