The knowledge gained in Angiro Comprehensive School’s Climate-Smart Agriculture program didn’t just stay within the school fence; for a group of five students, it became the seed of a thriving home enterprise. They learned the fundamentals of soil health, water conservation, and organic farming in class, which they first applied in the school garden. Seeing their success, they decided to replicate the same techniques on small plots at their homes, using double digging and homemade compost to grow kale, tomatoes, and onions.

Their home gardens produced such a bountiful surplus that they spotted a new opportunity. Naming themselves the “Green Shoots Group,” they began carefully packaging their harvest and selling it to teachers and neighbors. The profits were a direct payoff from their applied education. They reinvested the earnings into buying better seeds and tools, making their venture self-sustaining. “We used to think farming was just for our parents, but what we learned in school showed us it’s a smart business,” one member shared. This journey from the school lesson to the home garden to the marketplace provided them with invaluable entrepreneurship skills and proved that modern agriculture is a viable and dignified source of income for the next generation
