It’s been 3 weeks since I reported to Dudutech after completing my BSc. Horticulture studies at Pwani University.

My first impression of the place was way further from my imagination. The environment here is very clean you can barely see any litter. They have planted lots of trees around the premises and the air is always fresh. What was way better than the environment was the staff. They are very kind and willing to assist new employees through the induction process.

Dudutech creates solutions for farmers on how to eliminate pests and diseases using biodegradable products. For the past two weeks I have been learning about the companies various products after which I will work in the sales department. It’s been an eye opening opportunity as I am learning a lot about safe agricultural products in a world where most products contain harmful chemicals. The big global debate on carbon emission and global warming can never be won if different stakeholders do not devise means of working towards reducing toxic substances being released into the environment, and I am glad to be part of an ecosystem that is creating a better world for the current and future generations.

I am very grateful to HHFL and to Tom Mason for giving me this wonderful opportunity. I am working very hard and determined to grow to even greater heights
