Now is the time to plant one’s maize field as the rains are coming in Zimbabwe! We have spent approximately $840 to purchase certified seed for 27 families so that they can plant their field knowing that the quality will ensure a successful crop of 1-2 tons (depending upon whether they borrowed for 10 or 20kg of seed), assuming the weather is reasonable. This will be considered a loan without interest. They will repay the loan by giving the financial equivalent of maize to the preschool in 2012. We feed the preschoolers daily and the maize will supplement the other foods we grow and buy. This is a win-win situation!
