Farming Youths putting in the work 👏🏾

Yesterday on one of my many quests I stumbled into this farm using solar for irrigation. The guy running the place was a young man, probably below 30 and the set up was impressive. Before things went south in 2022 this was my dream with back up electricity. Seeing someone else implement such a project around my age and with such great vision was inspiring af. Seeing young going against the odds and succeeding is inspiring. It shows that nothing is impossible and opens up your mind. Nikisema look up to the right people I'm talking about such things. Si lazima you look up to a multi millionaire. It's people like this driving entrepreneurship, change and doing things differently. He's a guy who started small, reinvesting and looking for financing opportunities.

Tujitume guys.
