PIGEON PEAS

Ukambani region is well known for the persistent drought that has hit the region for a very long time. One of the members living among that community, we have had alot of challenges when it comes to food, water and scarcity of others. A farmer by the name Jonathan Kilonzo came up with pigeon peas. He planted and in a short time it was ready. This was a very good news to most Akamba people so they adopted this crop unlike the tradition of Ukambani and it matured faster so most farmers grow the crop and today things have at least changed in this region of Ukambani.
