Don’t Burn, Make Compost
A Story of Shantumbu Village
In April 2025, 10 farmers from Shantumbu attended our compost training.
Today, we went back to see if the knowledge was being used.
What we found was powerful.
At least five farmers are actively using compost, with healthy maize and vegetable fields, reduced armyworm attacks, and fertile soil reused for different crops—without chemical fertilizers.
We visited Mr. Yasin, Evans, Kennedy, the village headman, and others who are now not only practicing composting, but teaching fellow farmers too.
Together with the EcoStewards for Health Initiative team and board, we witnessed how waste has truly been turned into wealth.
🎥 More testimonies coming in the video.
📸 For now, these photos tell the story.
Don’t burn. Make compost. Shantumbu is proof.
