Pishori Rice-Farming Sustainability Project
The Pishori rice-farming project is a vibrant and innovative sustainability initiative at Our Lady of Lourdes Mwea Training & Referral Hospital. The project, established on hospital land, plays a vital role in strengthening food security by providing nutritious, locally grown food for both staff and patients, while also generating valuable income that is reinvested in improving hospital services.
The initiative reflects the hospital’s commitment to sustainable agriculture, self-reliance, environmental stewardship, and quality healthcare. By making productive use of its land, the hospital is creating a practical model that links agricultural productivity with improved institutional wellbeing.
The celebration featured a demonstration of the Pishori rice harvest, an informative tour of the thriving rice fields, and a memorable shared meal prepared from produce grown on the hospital’s own farm. The occasion highlighted the remarkable contribution of sustainable farming to food security, income generation, community wellbeing, and the long-term development of healthcare services.
