Project Description (200 words) e.g. objectives, activities and duration, etc. 

The Toubakolong Kambeng Kafo women’s garden was established to help women increase their income, however, the current condition of the fence is a drawback. Animals, mostly goats get into the garden and destroy the vegetables before they are even ready for harvest, subsequently, the women predominantly cultivate mint (“nana”) since the pests do not eat it. The garden has three wells and a borehole, therefore with a standard fence keeping the animals out, the women will be able to diversify production and earn more income. The women have been coping with the poor fencing by fencing the perimeters of their beds using locally available material such as nets, sticks and thorns to somewhat keep the animals from eating their still-growing vegetables.

This is the cureent state of the fence of the garden which is not secured and animals used to destroy women’s crops
