Around the world, Plant With Purpose participants like Timothy are proving that the cycle of poverty and environmental degradation can be reversed. What once felt like scarcity can become sufficiency and even surplus.

“Before PWP came, I used to think that work was a result of sin. But I remember attending one of the trainings, where I was taught that work was entrusted to man. Now, I spend most of my time in the field, and enjoy working, because I am convinced that God is pleased with that.”

Plant With Purpose began working in the Lwafwa area and partnered with Timothy’s local church. As an active member of the congregation, Timothy immediately became involved.

For Timothy, a father of six living in the Lwafwa watershed of Malawi, life has often felt like an uphill climb. Like many in his community, he carried the burden of responsibility for his family with limited resources and uncertain opportunities.

Let's hear it for Timothy in Malawi, a smallholder farmer who has harvested an incredible amount of cassava.
