October saw a first for Africa Moringa Hub in Cameroon. We had the opportunity to partner with the first ever Pan African Film Festival in Cameroon, held in Garoua. Moringa gained the spotlight and raised much enthusiasm among the people. Our representatives were Joshua Haruna (AMH CEO and Founder) and Guil (AMH Cameroon Director). AMH Blog has interviewed Joshua about the visit. AB: Hello Joshua, I hear that you have just returned from a film festival in Cameroon, and that AMH NGO was involved? Can you tell us a little about the film festival and how AMH got involved? JH: Yes I was present at the film festival to represent AMH NGO. It was a dream come true for me as I…
My Introduction to Moringa through Extension Service It’s usually said that the driver of Agricultural productivity is extension service. For those who don’t know, extension service is the arm of agriculture that comes along side farmers and rural communities to help them grow and produce viable crops. It was through Extension Service to farmers that I first got introduced to Moringa 20 years ago. At that time, the late Mr Vavaya Mulenga of the Conservation Farming Unit had introduced Moringa as a crop to Central Zambia, along with Jatropha and Bixa, Moringa. I belonged to an Association of graduates who built a large nursery for propagating moringa. These plants were given to farmers to grow on their own properties. The moringa plants grew…
Congratulations and best wishes on your appointment to our cherished non-profit organization, Jeanette Dickson, the recently appointed President of Africa Moringa Hub. After doing some online research about moringa and the best group to join, I found the Moringa Connection Facebook group, which helped me meet Jeanette, the group’s founder. In September 2015, Jeanette appointed me as group administrator, and we have been working on moringa ever since. With a combined 15 years of moringa expertise, Jeanette is one of the founders of Africa Moringa Hub and has held positions as director, secretary, graphic designer, IT administrator for the website, and currently president. Her experience with moringa began in Uganda in 2009. Since 2016, Jeanette has provided our NGO with ongoing…
Today we chatted to Barry Murphy from his moringa nursery in Florida, USA, where he has been focusing on moringa growing and promoting awareness for the past 2 years. The nursery supplies moringa plants to locals to grow on their properties or in their yards. They have formed a cooperative where the leaves are harvested and processed, and given back to the community. Barry has published a Free Moringa Manuel Ebook which has helped create a lot of awareness and knowledge. We will provide the link for you to download. Next we chatted with Nkole Chanda from Zambia. She is a founding member of Africa Moringa Hub, and we all love her miracle story of her recovery from HIV using moringa….
Again we celebrate Moringa in Jordan. This time we go to the lowest part of the earth, the Southern Jordan Valley, near the Dead Sea. It is also known as the greenhouse of the Jordan.
We congratulate the founding members of DMDT (Darrat Almanal for Development and Training), Manal Alwazani & Dr. Sawsan Majali.
This not-for-profit company was established in November 2016. Then in 2018 DMDT started a moringa tree-growing project to support and empower the youth and women in the region. The project proved to be successful in that it provided job opportunities for the local community, and they, in turn, contributed to the whole production chain. Today they sell a wonderful range of Moringa products.
Enjoy their story, and if you want to contact them their details are at the bottom of this article.
My involvement with Moringa started 6 years ago when I got introduced to the business by my Sister in-law. Her main business was spices of different kinds. She would send me to bring Moringa, also to a lesser extent with Number 3 meal Moringa leaf. This was part time. Gradually, I started developing interest and went full time into the business starting with bringing about 50kg of powder rising to 200kg and to about a tonne in the recent past per month. I usually buy for resale to those that buy in bulk. I have had about 6 main clients from Lusaka, Zambia, and a few others in these other provinces. Apart from the leaf powder, I also bring seed, seed…
