Thanks.

Other than for home consumption, most of the households on the islands grow fruits and vegetables to generate income to meet other daily needs.The little that I generate from selling fruits enables me buy fish, maize, bread and soap,” says 76 year-old John Themba of Mbungo Village in Likoma, who opted to specialize in growing fruits for sale. He is very proud of the jam he makes from his tomatoes.
In addition to a local market, most of the households sell their produce to the secondary school, hospital, and lodges on the island. Those who produce high value crops such as chilly peppers and beetroot also take them to mainland Malawi.
“The Likoma experience is a microcosm of what needs to happen all over Malawi,” says Timothy Gilbo, the World Bank’s Country Manager for Malawi. “There is need to transfer knowledge to people and encourage them to do things differently. Specializing in a high-value crop at household level and trading it, is a good path out of poverty.”
According to Gilbo, progress on the island shows that a little money with the right thinking and willingness to change can achieve a lot.
Households compete for progress The Lake Malawi Project has reached out to the islanders with about $5000 from the World Bank’s Civil Society Fund (CSF) from 2006-2008. The CSF supports innovative ideas that empower poor and marginalized groups to take charge of development processes.
In addition to the funding, LMPM has also introduced trophy competitions for summer and winter cropping. Households register their gardens for the competition which assesses how households are managing their gardens based on the skills and knowledge gained from demonstration sessions. By July 2008, 256 households had registered for the 2008 winter competition.
