The people of Taychungu, a community in the Pusiga District of the Upper East Region, have a new reason to celebrate. A well-fenced garden, equipped with 2 poly tanks of 5,000 liters, 2 mechanized boreholes, and 2 general boreholes, has been handed over to them for dry-season farming. Apexnewsgh reports
This incredible project, made possible by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Star Ghana, aims to support the farming community in Pusiga.
Frederick Nuuri-Teg, the Northern Ghana Project Manager, explained that the main goal of this initiative is to help address security challenges in neighboring countries like Togo and Burkina Faso. By empowering local farmers, the project seeks to reduce the vulnerability of border communities to exploitation by violent extremist organizations.
For the beneficiaries, this project has brought immense joy and happiness. Take Mussah, for example, who shared his inspiring story of transformation. He went from struggling to make ends meet to becoming a successful and self-sufficient farmer through the community gardening project.
The fenced garden initiative has provided a reliable boundary, protecting crops from unwanted intruders and allowing farmers to implement better crop management practices.
IOM Ghana has been supporting Ghana for the past three years in community development and other projects, with plans to continue for eight more years to help combat terrorism.
This project is just one example of their efforts to promote humane and orderly migration, addressing the humanitarian needs of migrants, internally displaced persons, returnees, and host communities.
