In its own words
In 2023 spring rains began funding an agriculture training in zaka zimbabwe that instructs high school graduates and young adults in the region. The purpose of the training program is to educate the students in bio-intensive agriculture and water retention via rain water harvesting so that they are able to succeed at growing their own nutrient rich food for both consumption and marketing.
