Agriculture
Sowing Seeds of Change and Sustainability
The OSI Bongema community farm, is sowing the seeds of self-sufficiency. For our work in promoting community sustainable initiatives, we were given 20 acres of land by the chiefdom. We have been able to employ over 30 community woerkers who assist in cultivating the land and growing crops that not only provide sustenance for the school but also serve as an educational platform for sustaninable agricultural practices, aligning with our mission to empower, communities. Our goal is to provide a co-operative food program for the school and the surrounding communities.
