Farmer, Mackson Sakala
Mackson Sakala runs a farm with pigs, chickens, peanuts, soya beans and vegetables. His farm suffered heavily from drought. Jacana helped him with the first rope pump in the area. Now the farm in Zambia has water throughout the year. Good for rearing pigs, chicken, garden and in many ways for the family to.
