Speaking at the grand finale held at Grace High School in Kasangati, Wakiso district, Francis Nsanga, the KHEA Programs Manager, said they decided to work with students because they are the future leaders and if they are empowered with organic farming knowledge, the future will be bright.

“We come to schools because we know that the young stars need to have this knowledge and be able to multiply it. We know if they grow with these skills and practice them, we shall be sure that our environment will be protected and will be able to produce organic and healthy food for their households. So, that is why we come to schools to empower the young ones because we know they are the future of our tomorrow,” he said.

He noted that over 15 schools participated in the debate which was won by Grace High School, the host, after garnering 25.3 points.

Oxford High School came second with 17.3 points.

Nakachwa Irene, one of the students who took part in the debate, thanked KHEA for giving them an opportunity to learn and gain skills that will in turn help them in future.
