    3. CAFOD has helped Kaberys family earn a better living, by helping them to turn part of their land into a vegetable garden. It isnt easy to grow crops in the village, because when the land is flooded by sea-water, it gets very salty and most plants dont grow well in salty soil. Thats why our partners have trained Kabery and her family to grow plants that do grow well in salty soil. And that means they can earn more money for things like Kaberys school fees.
