Stories from farmers, elders, youth, and partners who work alongside HNC.

“Before HNC introduced agroforestry to our community, our soils were exhausted, strong winds damaged our crops, and water was always scarce. Today, our farms are greener, more productive, and far more resilient to drought. HNC trained us in agroforestry and provided us with Moringa and Leucaena seedlings that restored our soil fertility, reduced wind damage, conserved moisture, and increased our harvests. The most beautiful change has been seeing birds return to our farms as the trees grew. HNC did not just give us seedlings—they gave us knowledge, hope, and a future that will benefit generations to come.”

“Before HNC helped us organize, we were just individual farmers struggling on our own, with no cooperative to represent us or connect us to opportunities. Today, Danwadaag is the largest farmers' cooperative in the Mudug Region. HNC guided us through every step—bringing us together, helping us develop our bylaws, registering our cooperative, opening our financial account, and covering the costs that made it all possible. They also stood beside us to secure our first project, installing solar-powered irrigation systems for 11 shallow wells and freeing us from costly diesel pumps. HNC did not just help us build a cooperative—they gave us unity, confidence, and a stronger future for our farming community.”
