Who are Lorenco and Issabela ?
Lorenco and Isabella with some of the grandchildren
Lorenco is 63 years old. They have got 9 children of which the oldest 3 are also farming in the area. There are still 9 dependants who eat from their house every day. The family owns 20 cattle, 16 goats, 22 chickens, 8 mango trees, 10 coconut trees, 8 citrus trees and 70 Cashew nut trees. They have got 20 ha of land, of which 6 ha are de-bushed and on which they plant maize, peanuts, sorghum and beans. . They are very positive to work with AgriServi to change their piece of land into a semi-commercial farm.
Happy Story –Lorenco was very happy to receive 2 cattle from the government, many years ago.
Sad Story - What makes him sad is when he has worked so hard to plant his crop and then they do not get any rain. It is as if all hope disappears for another year.
Dream for the area: Lorenco and Isabella agree that if they would receive a lot of money to spend on agriculture for the area, they would only de-bush the area to make place for planting.
Their own dream: They dream of registering their land on their name. After that they would put fencing around their farm and also make some inside camps. Then they would like to make a borehole with a pump and pipes. They understand the concept of semi-commercial farming and would like to change their land into a semi-commercial farm.
Present income: They earn more or less USD 1000 per year and food for the family.
Interested to look at their land on Google Earth ??? - Here are the coordinates:
( Only 20 ha of this piece of land belong to Samual . It still needs to be registered on his name )
