QARSASARE COMMUNITY EXPRESSES GRATITUDE TO GOVERNOR AHMED ABDULLAHI FOR FLLoCA SUCCESS.

Описание: Residents of Qarsasare Village in Gurar Ward, along the Kenya–Ethiopia border, have expressed deep appreciation to Wajir Governor Ahmed Abdullahi for championing a life-changing climate-smart agriculture project in the area.

After suffering massive losses during the 2022 drought, the community—long dependent on pastoralism found renewed hope through the FLLoCA program, implemented by the County Government of Wajir under Governor Ahmed Abdullahi’s leadership.

The governor’s administration partnered with the community to establish a 19-hectare integrated irrigation farm, powered by solar energy and equipped with greenhouses and fencing, turning dry land into productive farmland.

Organized into six groups, farmers now grow bananas, vegetables, tomatoes, onions, and maize, earning over KES 2 million from their first harvest. Families are now food secure, children are healthier, and livelihoods have been restored.

Community members say the project is a clear demonstration of Governor Ahmed Abdullahi’s commitment to climate resilience, food security, and sustainable development, noting that devolution is delivering real impact in even the most remote parts of Wajir County.
