Visually-impaired farmer appeals for support

A 45-year-old man did not leave anything to chance when he lost his vision about 9 years ago to glaucoma, a development which robbed him of his livelihood.

To make ends meet, Godwin Kwashie abandoned his Kente trade in Accra and settled in the Afadzato South District community of Leklebi Agbesia to engage in farming.

It has been a struggle to support his 3-member family on proceeds from the sales of his harvest.

“After some time, I noticed I was losing my vision, so I had to move to Vakpo with my mother and later to Agbesia due to a lack of food and land for farming”, he explained.

He cultivates varied food crops on small scales, sells a portion of his harvest, and stores the rest for use at home.
