@LBDAgov , @USTADI_Fndtn and @SafaricomFDN are proud to report the progress of Franklin Barasa (Bukhayo Central Ward, Nambale), a 2025 Wezesha III Agri-Eco Hub trainee who has grown from conventional smallholder to agribusiness operator.
Pre-intervention, farming followed community norms at KES 1,000–2,000 per month. Today, vegetable sales earn KES 500–700 per day, with a planned shift to improved seed varieties for higher margins.
𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞: sustained school enrolment, household food security, improved welfare and a new community benchmark. Franklin now mentors fellow youth in ongoing technical trainings, proof that Wezesha III is converting subsistence farming into a viable, replicable agribusiness pathway.
