Review for The Vetiver Network International, San Antonio, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Am a Kenyan who got introduced to the TVNI in 2007 by Elise Pinners ( Thanks Elise). I got the interest and started to research on how my country can benefit from the information the network freely provides about Vetiver system. It has been very beneficial because out of that knowledge, i have been able to work on projects that have paid me. I am now a trainer in the vetiver applications and this has brought me income. The network had donated to me the first 2000 slips to start my own nursery in Kitale, Kenya which will soon generate more income for me and my family. Because of Vetiver, i have a roof on my head for me and and my girls! With the nursery i will be able to take my girls to college! Am still being trained in the most complex applications like Roads, railways etc. I will get there with time. I have done nurseries in Lodwar, Bududa Uganda, i have trained farmers in Naivasha and Narok. I have done gully plugging in Kerio Valley. I am looking forward to doing more work until every farmer hears about the wonders of Vetiver Grass!
