Our family is very poor and the earning from my vegetable cultivation was too low to set aside money for our children’s school needs. HAC Foundation connected me with the District Farming Department in Khunti. Through them, I received a poly-house nursery, seed bed, mulch and micro drip irrigation system. Now I cultivate strawberries which is very profitable for small farmers like me. We have enough for food as well as our children’s education. I want them to study so that they can have a bright future ahead.
