Peak Harvest Boosts Livelihoods

  • Written by: Tafadzwa Masviba

It's peak harvest season across the Zimbabwe Development Democracy Trust (ZDDT) managed gardens, and the results speak for themselves.

Recent photos capture proud beneficiaries showcasing impressive produce, from large, healthy cabbages to bundles of freshly picked onions.

This surge in quality yields means more than just food on the table. It translates into higher income for participating farmers, who can now sell surplus produce at local markets.

The increased earnings help families cover essential needs like school fees, healthcare, and household improvements.

Beyond immediate financial benefits, the success of this season underlines the long-term impact of ZDDT’s support in promoting food security, empowering communities, and building sustainable livelihoods. As the gardens thrive, so too do the lives of those who tend them.
