What if the tomato you just sliced into your child’s breakfast was grown in soil that has forgotten what life feels like? Drenched in chemicals, stripped of nutrients, and harvested without a second thought about the little hands reaching for it.
That question sits at the heart of a quiet but urgent shift CEFROHT is making.
What the service is
A site visit, a soil assessment, a planting plan matched to what your household actually eats, and setup support through the first season. It is available to households, schools and institutions.
Why we started it
People kept asking. A visitor would walk the demonstration plots at Nakisunga, ask a lot of good questions, and then say some version of: could you come and do this at my place.
Every setup becomes a demonstration site. A school garden that works is seen by four hundred children and their parents. Fees cover the field team and subsidise the free training we run for smallholder farmers who cannot pay.
What we will tell you honestly
The first season is harder. Yields dip while soil biology recovers, usually for two to three cycles. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something.
