About YoFFA
The club started as ‘Young Farmers Club’ in 2013 and has gone through various transition stages and on 29th April 2017 was re-branded ‘Youth Future Farmers Of Africa – Gayaza High School Chapter.’ This shows that one of our goals is to spread our wings to all other schools all over the African continent.
We engage the students through club activities at least on a weekly basis. Students from other schools in the country are engaged through the various ‘farm camps’ held annually at Gayaza High School. All in all, we would like to see a generation of youth who are passionate about modern agriculture because this is an area where we are endowed as a country and will provide true wealth in the long run if done correctly.
