Ms Mwale, who has been cultivating cassava for household use for about 10 years, sees the scheme as an opportunity to earn income. “I inherited a big parcel of land from my father and so I’m quite confident I will qualify as a beneficiary. “I’m happy because I know I will be able to send all my children to school once I’m enrolled in this programme,” Ms Mwale said.
