Project Overview:
What problem are we addressing?:
When we make mention of career development, we are referring to lifelong process of learning, exploring, and advancing in a chosen field. Therefore, by building a career path, will require adequate and relevant information to be able to make proper decisions.
A holistic approach (New) behind Educational Reformation is that food security and good health must be compatible to every career path. Irrespective of one’s chosen career or field, he or she cannot do without food nor good health to be able to excel in that career. Despite diversity in careers, skills development towards advancing food security and good health should accompany career diversity.
How do we intend to solve this problem?

This implies, 1,013,667 young students would be or are aspiring for diverse career paths. Educational Reformation will require that career orientation is needful for this students as they move to forms fives and and from upper sixth level to the university of the need to incorporate agricultural entrepreneurship skills in their chosen fields (career) if there is need is the will to combat the challenge of food security and good health. This holistic approach (New) will have a tremendous multiplier effect.
Skills development on food transformation will alleviate the challenge of post harvest waist and equally, the production of quality food void of spikes, will enhance good health within our communities and by so doing, this initiative will be enhancing SDG 2, which addresses on Zero Hunger and SDG 3, which addresses on Good Health and Wellbeing.
