Farmer Stories

Real stories of transformation from the farmers we work with.

Mary Banda

Kasungu, Malawi

"Since joining HarvestGlow's seed program, my maize yield has increased from 1.5 to 4 tons per hectare. I can now pay for my children's education and have enough food for my family."

John Phiri

Likuni, Malawi

"The village savings group has changed everything for us. We pooled our resources to buy a peanut processing machine, and now our community earns additional income from selling peanut butter."

Grace Mwanza

Lilongwe, Malawi

"The climate-smart training taught me how to conserve water and prepare for changing weather patterns. Even during drought, my crops survived while others failed."

James Chirwa

Mchinji, Malawi

"Before HarvestGlow, I struggled to feed my family. Now, with improved seeds and training, I produce enough to feed my family and sell the surplus. My income has doubled."

Sarah Gondwe

Dowa, Malawi

"As a woman farmer, I never had access to credit before. Through the VSL group, I got a loan to buy inputs and now I'm one of the most successful farmers in my village."

Thomas Kaunda

Ntchisi, Malawi

"Our community processing unit has created jobs for young people who were planning to leave for the city. Now they see a future in agriculture right here at home."
