Mesfin meeting with Milkiyas and his family, Ethiopia.

How do you help to support families facing these challenges?

Ripple Effect
Milkiyas is one of the farmers Mesfin has been working with. He shared: “I have received training in soil and water conservation as the water was taking all the healthy soil away. Now I know how to protect it. I’ve learned to make compost and organic fertiliser from available materials. My carrots look good now as they’ve been fed with compost. [...] I want to thank Ripple Effect. They changed our mindset completely. We were so afraid of dying poor. Now we will leave behind a good history.”
