From Hands-On Learning to His Own Farm

Dur­ing the devel­op­ment of the Farm­ing Excel­lence Cen­ter, Ramadhan became aware of the pro­ject and seized the oppor­tun­ity to begin train­ing in sus­tain­able farming.

In Kenya, appren­tices usu­ally have to pay for their train­ing. The Farm­ing Excel­lence Cen­ter takes a dif­fer­ent approach: Ramadhan receives a monthly allow­ance. This not only recog­nizes his work but also ensures he can fully focus on his one-year train­ing program.

Ramadhan comes from a nearby area where his fam­ily owns land—and that is exactly what he plans to use. He is hard­work­ing, reli­able, and eager to under­stand sus­tain­able agri­cul­ture in prac­tice.
His goal is clear: after com­plet­ing his train­ing, he wants to apply what he has learned at home and gradu­ally build his own sus­tain­able farm.
