Hi to our #donors and well-wishers,
We have posted a new update on our fundraiser.

We have also reactivated our fundraiser again as we continue working toward completing the project.

We have reached the stage where things have become harder to break through, even though we are close to the finish line.

The update explains everything that is happening on the ground, and we hope that, with your continued support, we can get through this stage.

Thank you again for your generous support.https://www.gofundme.com/f/water-well-at-eco-youths-farm

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?

The clay bricks have arrived at the well site. These high-quality bricks are suitable for water proofing the well and anywhere where there is water.

It took us time to find the right ones, but the search was worth it👍

To all our #donors your support is making a huge difference as you can see from the progress we have so far at the well site, thank you once again for standing with us.

Hi #mastodon family and friends
We are excited to share another update on our water well project. Thank you to everyone who supported our fundraiser we reached our goal, and now you can follow the progress.
https://www.gofundme.com/f/water-well-at-eco-youths-farm?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp20_t1&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US

The team is digging while lining the well to prevent the surrounding soil from collapsing. We also purchased the required materials, including cement, sand, waterproofing materials, and ordinary bricks, and they are already being used on site.

The clay bricks, which will be used in the section where the well reaches water because they are more durable in constant moisture, have been ordered and should arrive on Monday..

We hope this update brings you good vibes as we head into the weekend.

Happy weekend from all of us in #Kiboga District, #Uganda! Dr. Doro (she/her) (npub1qvk…ngtp) Julian Gonggrijp (npub1la9…20tp) Ω 🌍 Gus Posey (npub14mf…35et)

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

We worked together with the pupils and the staff of Jerome Nursery and Primary School to harvest our maize, which was ready for harvest.

¥¥The best part is that we donated all of it to the school.

As one of our partner schools, we are happy to be supporting each other!

The donated maize will be milled into flour, which will provide meals for the school for several weeks.💪

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

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! 😂

Heroes should not be remembered only in history books. They are also the people who work every day to build a better future for their communities.

Believe it or not, you are a hero too. We are all heroes in our own way, through the positive things we do for others and our communities.

On this National #HeroesDay in Uganda, June 9, 2026, we honor those who struggled for our country and those who are still struggling today to make a better future for others.

Happy National Heroes Day 🇺🇬

Another chapter about our trip.This one is all about #maggotfarming We were inspired to see how #farmers raise maggots that are used as #nutritious feed for their #chickens and pigs.

The process starts with black soldier flies that are kept in specially designed meshed cages!

The flies lay eggs, which are carefully collected and moved to safe areas for hatching. The larvae feed on crop residues, compost, and other organic materials as they grow through different stages. Under warm conditions, the whole process takes about two to three weeks!

This was a great inspiration for us as #EYN. Seeing this simple and practical system gave us new ideas, and we hope to one day establish a similar project in our community and apply what we learned during the trip.

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

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.

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 😉.

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 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...

2025-11-14T08:27:47+01:00

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

This activity shows how the youth are not only the leaders of tomorrow but also the changemakers of today.

Each tree planted is a step toward a cleaner, greener, and healthier planet for all. Let’s keep inspiring others to join hands in protecting Mother Earth.
