At just 23 years old, Makanaka is a mother, a wife, and a determined provider for her family. In October 2025, she participated in RYSR’s farming training.

When we visited again in February, the transformation was unmistakable. Once facing food scarcity, her family now has enough food for an entire year—and extra to sell for income.

She shared that the training has given her family hope and security for the future.
