Cassava Farming

What we do for our children represents MWAHEO's definition of future self-determination.

our project approach

We plan to supply food, school resources and materials through our agriculture projects but we need your support.

MWAHEO is dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty by providing quality education to underprivileged communities. We want to utilize sustainable cocoa farming projects to fund our operations while engaging students, youth, and the wider community in educational initiatives aimed at self-reliance and empowerment to avoid dangerous ways of moving overseas to seek greener pastures.

Food

We aimed at providing food for the underprivileged community school children through the agriculture project. 

Resources

One of our major target is to provide school material, tools and facilities infrastructural development.

technology

To ensure educational equality, we want to bridge the technological gap by providing computers.

Cassava Farming

Cassava (Manioc) is one of the popular staple foods of West Africa. It has several uses. I grew up following my elders to the farm to plant, weed, and harvest cassava. I will have time to elaborate on Casava’s many uses.

I will highlight on growing, uprooting, and uses of cassava later in this segment.

Harvesting time, a moment of joy and Reprieve

To every farmer, harvesting is a joyous moment although it is equally labor intensive. When I was young, I remember we carried baskets following our elders. At a young age, one of the challenging tasks involved uprooting the tubers of cassava. One needed upper body strength to accomplish this. Farmers who are comparatively well-to-do, hire labor to do the uprooting; then women and children go and carry them in baskets, readying some for the market and the rest for home.

What will you do to support the poor child?

Above, moving in series, are some of the uses of cassava. It plays a huge role in our dietary needs. All parts of the cassava are used, making it one of the giant crops in West Africa.

Cassava dough and starch.

These are primed for the market. People buy for food, especially a local Ghanaian dish called Konkonte, Abetee, Face-the-wall, and other local phony names.

Cassava Production

Subsistent farming is gradually ceding the way for semi-commercial farming? Well not quite; many farmers are poor and can only manually create farms large enough to feed their families. Diasporans are teaming up with local industries to expand the cultivation of cassava. Some types of cassava are strictly for commercial and pharmaceutical use only.

our work

Women and children dominate farming when it comes to harvesting farm produce. Clearing the forest in readiness for farming is usually done by the males due to its labor-intensiveness. That is not to say there are not some women who, in some cases, remain competitive with the men. Many thanks to our mothers, sisters, and even grandmothers for their communal support.
