Agriculture

Since 2003, Rush UK has supported the program by providing learning materials and assisting in purchasing farm inputs like fertilizer, recognizing agriculture as the main activity in the surrounding community. The organization leased land from the government for farming purposes.

At the Rush canteen grounds, where weekly meetings take place, Rush members cultivate vegetables for sale, which also serve as part of the menu during the weekly feeding programs. The produce from the farm is used to feed Rush academy students and members during the feeding program. Twice a year, Rush members gather to plant maize and beans on the farm, harvesting them at the end of the season.

However, in 2018, the county government took back the farm, posing challenges in feeding the students and community members. Rush continues to seek ways to purchase land for agricultural purposes. Additionally, various seminars have been conducted as part of the agricultural program to educate members on new and improved farming methods to maximize their produce.
