The Heart and Soil Impact

Meet Michelle, the agronomist, who is investing her life in changing a community one farmer at a time.

Michelle is pouring her heart into the “soil” and “souls” of the community. She has already trained more than 250 small farmers in enhanced agricultural practices and initiated a pass-forward pig project.

Through this farming initiative, we are seeing a decrease in food insecurity and malnutrition, the farmers and pig owners are able to pay for school fees and better provide for their families. Neighbors are working together in breeding their pigs and sharing the litters as part of the pass-forward project.

The next phase of this project is to purchase pigs to breed at the ALARM Burera farm to continue to provide piglets to community members.

As the soil is nurtured and cultivated, the community is being transformed as relationships are strengthened and restored.
