Recovering from the Floods: Mohammed Rises Again with Seed Sharing

My name is Mohamed Ali. I am a resident of Dadu District.

My family consists of seven people: myself, my wife, my son, and four daughters. Each of my children is working hard in their studies and my eldest daughter is pursuing her university degree.

The flood of 2022 destroyed our houses and infrastructure. We lost crops, seeds, agricultural materials, two goats and three cows. We will never forget the pain. For a long time after this disaster, we could not buy seeds or prepare our land for cultivation.

Then one day I learned about JEN, an NGO that provides agricultural assistance to flood-affected farmers in our area. Fortunately, our village became the target of the agricultural assistance project.



Receiving the "Best Farmer Award"

After much work, we are finally able to harvest wheat and vegetables and it is expected that we will continue to be able to produce enough for my family. From the seeds we harvested, we will distribute to two new farmers, so that more farmers will be able to grow their own crops and continue the JEN implemented activity.


Harvesting crops

We heard the good news that JEN will be distributing additional summer vegetable seeds. This will be very useful not only for home use, but also for selling in the market. We have already received these seeds and are excited to start growing them right away.

We are truly grateful to JEN for providing us with the seeds, materials, and modern agricultural technology.

Mohamed Ali told us this story with a smile. I watched closely as Mohammed worked hard on his farm. He initially told me that he was helpless during the floods. I am very pleased to learn that he has become self-sufficient and that our project has opened up new possibilities for him. Mohamed is looking forward to providing some of the harvested seeds to other households and to passing on the knowledge he has gained to others. I sincerely hope that people in the affected areas will be able to live better lives like Mohamed.
