Waterloo Agricultural Youth Development Organisation ( WAYADO) This farming project of 150 acres was established after the war ended and caters for over 2000 people, many are war widows and children. It is situated on the slopes south west of the highway in the York Road area. Farming there is very challenging, especially as crops are stolen at night and there is a lack of good agricultural resources. “ My husband died in the war. He was murdered. He should be here to be with me and help see his children grow up. He is not. I am alone. I am forced to farm.” A war widow. The Waterloo Partnership has sent farming tools, wheelbarrows and watering cans. |
