Nine year old Grace Carol Nabajja is praying in the morning before going out on the fields to work. Her dad Mr. William Katende, owns a 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.
