On another note, we always welcome #nature to our farm. This young chameleon is a special visitor, We have now found him or her on our land three different times, yet we are not sure why, unless they keep the wondering here by mistake🥹
Do you think seeing a chameleon is just a coincidence, or does it say something about the health of the environment?

Our water well project has now reached a more challenging stage. The team has encountered large stones underground, including one so heavy that it took four people working together to turn the pulley and remove it.
Today marks Day 5 since the project began. We are deeply grateful to everyone standing with us. Your support is making a real difference and helping this work move forward on the ground.
We continue to welcome and appreciate every contribution to our fundraiser as we get closer to securing a reliable water source for our regenerative farm and gardens. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Hi, #Mastodon family and well-wishers, We are filled with excitement as our water well project has officially begun! Seeing the first day of work gives us so much hope that clean water is getting closer.
This is more than just digging a well it's the beginning of a dream becoming reality.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us so far, and we warmly welcome new donations as we continue this journey until the well is complete. Together, we are making it happen.🥰💪 https://www.gofundme.com/f/water-well-at-eco-youths-farm/cl/s?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp20_t1&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US

Happy weekend everyone🙋 Thank you to everyone who has supported our water well fundraiser💪
Because of your kindness, we have already passed 50% of our goal! We hope to begin the water well project next week, but we still need help raising the remaining funds.
Every donation brings us closer to water well ownership 💪, gives our crops a chance to survive, and stops our dreams from fading inside us.
Please share our fundraiser if you can it also makes a huge difference. Together, we can turn hope into reality. https://www.gofundme.com/f/water-well-at-eco-youths-farm/cl/s?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp20_t1&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US

Our crops are slowly fading because our land has no reliable water source. Each dry day threatens the harvest, weakens our mission, and puts years of hard work at risk.
We refuse to give up on our dream of growing nutritious food, empowering young people through sustainable agriculture, and protecting our environment.
And so we decided to come back and share with you what we are passing through, and here your donation, no matter the amount, will help us secure a reliable water source, save our crops, and keep hope alive for our community. Please stand with us today.
In the photos below, you will see our banana plantation which is part of our surviving crops, before the dry season and how they look today after being affected by the prolonged lack of water😞

Hi, #Mastodon family
Once again, we are reaching out with hope.
First, thank you to everyone who helped us purchase our land which now belongs to us, and we are deeply grateful for your support.
Today, we are launching a new fundraiser for the next important step: digging a permanent water well on our farm. We have tried several ways to secure water, but they haven't been reliable.
A well will provide a sustainable water source, helping us grow food, care for our projects, and empower more young people in our community.
We kindly ask our supporters, friends, and well-wishers to stand with us once again.
Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us closer to making this dream a reality. Please boost or share our fundraiser it makes a huge difference.
Together, we can keep this sustainable project growing. Thank you for your #love #solidarity and continued support.https://www.gofundme.com/f/water-well-at-eco-youths-farm

The smaller the piece of land you have, the greater the effort you should put into it.
With good care and hard work, even a small piece of land can produce high-quality yields.
A word from one of our #agriculture teachers in high school.

The so-called ordinary people #farmers, are quietly feeding the nation and welcoming visitors with fresh, naturally grown food.
Drive just outside Kampala, and you will find local markets like this, where many travelers stop to buy healthy produce.
More people are choosing fresh local food over processed junk food a choice that benefits their health while supporting the hardworking farmers who grow it.
Every purchase at a local market helps nourish families, strengthen communities, and sustain local #agriculture

Rain has totally ghosted us on this side. Thankfully, our banana plantation is still doing well😊
2 days ago we removed unwanted weeds, and we are preparing to harvest our maize which is now ready.
We plan to use the maize stalks as mulches, which will help keep moisture in the #soil, protect the roots from strong sunshine, and improve soil health during this dry period

We found six soft-shelled eggs in our garden as we were ploughing.
Yes, we guessed they might belong to some animals, birds, or invertebrates, but our own expectations were not satisfying....🤦
Can anyone say something about these small eggs that are found in sand or soft soil?

Wonderful! We had special visitors this season. #birds 🐦 They came and blessed our maize garden, and without asking permission they enjoyed the first taste of our corns/maize. 😄
It was great to see nature enjoying nature. A small reminder that our harvest is shared with many living things around us.
By the way, our maize is now more than ready. We are still planning what to do with it.
Please, we did not say we don't know what to do with it! 😂

A garden without water can't have this wonderful look. Do you agree? Please share your thoughts and knowledge with us.
What knowledge can you share with farmers who want to start growing vegetables but do not have a water source?
Note: All these photos were taken at the farm we visited.

Hi #Mastodon family If you missed us, we are back from our trip to Kenya. Before anything else, we want to thank everyone who supported us and helped make this journey possible. We may have disturbed a few people while fundraising, but we knew the opportunity to learn was too important to miss.
The farm we visited was full of inspiration: fish farming, maggot farming, worm farming, cattle, chickens, vegetables, bananas, and much more. It's an #organicfarm, and honestly, we learned even more than we expected.
What amazed us most is that the farm is about the same size as our land at EYN, yet every corner is productive and innovative.
Every day brought new ideas. The moment we stepped onto the farm, our minds started imagining new possibilities.1/3

Thank you for the recommendation! Kamakura and Enoshima sound like wonderful places to visit. We love learning about places with history, temples, nature, and the sea.
Have you visited Kamakura and Enoshima many times?
Ohh, by the way, we are currently away from home for an agricultural training. We are in Kenya, our neighboring country, and we will be coming back to Uganda tomorrow. We have been learning a lot and enjoying the experience, we hope to make some posts about our taring tomorrow!

Oh, thank you so much for your kind words! 😊
Tokyo seems like a wonderful city from what we see in movies and documentaries. Maybe one day we will have the chance to visit it too.
And yes, if you keep following us, your interest in farming might slowly grow little by little😄
Thank you for noticing that. We do face many difficulties, but we keep moving forward because this is our dream. Honestly, we have already reached a point we never expected to reach, and that gives us even more motivation. We are not going to stop.
If you ever visit Uganda, we would be very happy to welcome you and show you our farm and community projects.
By the way, what is your favorite thing about living near Tokyo? And if you could recommend one place that every visitor should see, what would it be?

Hi friend, thank you for the explanation, and sorry for the misunderstanding. 😊
Yes, machine translation can sometimes create funny results! Maybe you also wanted your fellow Japanese readers to clearly understand our post, which makes perfect sense.
By the way, where do you live? Are you also interested in farming? If so, what got you interested in it?
And one more question have you ever been to Africa, the "cradle of humanity"?

Anyway, this is how coffee looks in the #garden ☕ As you can see, the beans are still green, meaning they are not yet ready for #harvest. Soon they will turn red, which shows they are ready to be picked, and We will also show you that stage.
So if you love coffee but don’t know the first process before it reaches your cup hhhh 😄 follow this thread and let’s learn together.
And please… coffee does not start from supermarkets 😂

Today we visited a beautiful local market filled with fresh #organicfoods like potatoes, cassava, avocados, and passion fruits as seen on the photos😊
As farmers at #EYN, we felt truly motivated and inspired to continue promoting and producing healthy organic foods for our communities
And to friends who think food only comes from supermarkets… ohh no 😂 it all begins from the #soil!

Ohhh, that really makes sense since you have all those things in between your gardens and the distance is enough, which really matters.

Ohh, then pollination is going to take place because maize is mainly pollinated by wind.
The current corns will look normal, but in the next season those seeds may then develop into mixed varieties of corn, which you as a farmer may not like!

Hi friend, sorry for the delayed response. Yes, we know the variety of our maize it is Flour Corn.

This food is a bit different, but it is still very good.
Maize comes in different colors, and maybe on your side you are more used to growing yellow maize corn.

2026-05-10 16:00:01 UTC

Hi #Mastodon family some people have been asking why we don’t post the maize on our land hhh. So here it is, our maize field looks all green and healthy 😉.
And the funny part is 🌽😂 the maize we gave the least attention is now among the most developed around us. Harvest time is getting closer and we can’t wait to share with the community 😉
In #Africa maize are used to make posho, a common school meal. Fresh maize can also be roasted or boiled and tastes great 😉.

Peter Mugabo, the new pumpkin farmer, proudly called some of us to visit the pumpkins he recently grew. They really looked nice and inspiring. So what do you think, fellow #farmers? Should we also grow pumpkins on our land...?
Can we plant them in between our banana plantations, and will that work well without affecting the bananas?

Yes, thank you for the feedback. By the way, as we mentioned earlier, in each banana planting hole we have also planted a coffee seedling. We’re hoping this will support us once the banana plantation’s cycle comes to an end in a few years

Ohh yes, we understand. Every place has its own nature that supports different things. Even if bananas don’t grow there, we believe there are other crops and activities you are successfully working on.

We successfully completed mulching our banana plantation, and the plants are now well organized. This was not easy for us because it was challenging to find enough grass for mulching, but we are happy we managed to finish it.
Mulching helps in keeping moisture in the soil, improves soil fertility, reduces weed growth, and protects the plants from strong sun and heavy rain. This helps the bananas grow healthier and stronger.

As we step into the Easter vibes, we first had to focus on one important task making terraces on our land. The heavy waters from the surrounding hills have been washing away our fertile topsoil, which is vital for farming. We worked hard and succeeded. And seeing our bananas growing healthy and beautiful made us so happy it feels like they truly loved our land.💪

This thread is about our banana plantation project which is ongoing As you may know we started by planting fruit trees like mangoes, avocados guavas, and oranges with some few other types of trees on our land. Next is bananas, as we continue building a productive organic, and sustainable farm. We also plan to add coffee trees and later introduce green crops like cabbage, tomatoes, onions and carrots etc, to strengthen food security in our community. #SustainableFarming #FoodSecurity #Organic

We are currently in #Namililo village hunting for banana seeds but look, we saw what is possible As we passed by the local market, fresh bananas and other local foods filled the ground a clear sign of care, water and hard work. This is what we are planning for part of our land and we are looking for over 114 healthy banana suckers to plant, creating food, skills, and opportunity This is more than farming; its a future others can learn from and build on #SustainableFarming #FoodSecurity #Uganda

Yesterday we held a colorful tree-planting program in the Lunnya the small town Together with pupils from Lwamata Primary School in Lunnya, we walked through the the community carrying tree seedlings to the planting site. Along the way, many people joined and learned about our mission. Even those who didn’t know us before came to understand our work to protect the environment, fight climate change, and secure a better future through actions like tree planting.

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully reached our initial agreements with the landowners and have paid the first installment, granting us full access to the half of the land. We are also sharing authorized photos from the day with the individuals we met. As young people, acquiring land ownership has been a significant challenge. Since the beginning of our work, we have operated on rented land, and we are now transitioning to land that we will own #ecoprojects #Uganda 1/2........

Friends and supporters of Eco Youths Network Uganda, we are struggling to raise the remaining 900 Euros needed to complete the first installment, which will grant us access to half of the land we are hoping to buy.

To clarify, the land we are renting is not the land we plan to buy;"some people were curious "they are different. Please consider donating to our fundraiser.

.I understand your point, and I agree that flying has a big impact on our planet, especially with how often it’s used in the West by people who travel frequently. For us as youth, flying is still a dream for the future, and you know it’s not easy for many Africans to experience it even once. But I’m happy that we have the values and determination that might make it possible for us to fly one day, especially through our work with EYN.

I’ve noticed that some people even say they hate flying, which means they’ve flown so much that they’re tired of it. For me, I’m still waiting for the day I’ll see if I can also fly. I always want to connect with others, learn from them, and share knowledge together

We do forest farming. Our coffee grows under shade trees together with other plants, so it stays closer to nature and protects the soil and environment.

You can grow coffee and cacao in a way that keeps the land healthy for future generations. Try to farm with respect for nature and support each other as farmers share ideas then there the land can continue to feed your people for many years.

As a member of EYN in Uganda, I believe a good coffee farm is one that cares for both the land and the people. Fair trade and organic are important, but true sustainability goes deeper. A good farm protects the soil, keeps trees and shade, uses water wisely, and avoids chemicals that harm the environment. It also pays farmers fairly and helps the community grow food alongside the coffee, so families can eat and still earn from their crops...

2025-11-14 07:27:47 UTC

People who love coffee don’t know the journey it takes before reaching their cup As coffee harvesters we work hard to ensure quality: a ripe coffee cherry is red not green, and the green ones are unripe and can kill the quality of the final product To protect good coffee for our customers we carefully sort out any green or unwanted beans that may fall in during harvesting, because quality starts at the farm and even the small harvests we get deserve to be the best. #CoffeeFarming #QualityCoffee

Mulching helps protect and improve soil by covering it with dry leaves, grass, or crop remains. It conserves moisture, prevents erosion, controls weeds, and adds organic nutrients as it decomposes. This simple method boosts crop yields and supports climate resilience... try to use it in your garden your will thank me later

I was truly impressed he has a variety of healthy trees and his work is really inspiring. I plan to go back soon to visit him properly. I believe there’s a lot I can learn from him, and I look forward to building a strong connection.

During the strong #sunshine we #UgandaEcoYouthsNetwork found a smart #ecoFriendly way to keep water in our crops by using dried materials cut from our #banana plantations to cover the soil around our #eggplants this simple #climateSmart method helps the soil stay cool and moist even in dry weather and protects our food from drying out it's how we fight #hiddenHunger through #sustainableFarming and local innovation we never give up because #youthInAg can #stopHunger and build a resilient future.

Hey dear friends, it's 12:00 AM here in #Uganda too late now I have to sleep but before I do I wanted to share this! We received a message from the Headteacher of Fairway Nursery & Primary School asking us to visit and discuss with their staff about fighting #HiddenHunger and how they can sustain themselves. They have land but lack the skills. We're so happy people reach out to #UgandaEcoYouthsNetwork for support we’re always ready to serve our communities! #FoodSecurity .. #EcoYouth
