characters
Description
Over two years of unmet promises in the ES Kenya, Siaiya EcoSociety agricultural program have led to negative perceptions among farmers. Some believe Francis has personally benefited at their expense, causing backlash including hostility and loss of confidence. Limited communication channels and lack of regular updates have worsened the situation, creating distrust and damaging relationships essential for the EcoSociety’s success.
