A teacher in the remote Trobriand Group of Islands, Milne Bay Province, is making an impact in his community through his passion for agriculture.
Nathan Kabisawali (pictured), a teacher at Kiriwina High School, devotes himself to teaching his students sustainable farming practices and food security.
Kabisawali’s upbringing in the Trobriands and his firsthand experience of the challenges his community faces due to climate change, inspired him to study agriculture at the University of Environment and Natural Resources.
“I want to help people on the island increase their garden produce using sustainable methods of farming,” he said.
In 2017, Kabisawali was diagnosed with spinal tuberculosis. It affected his right leg. Since then, he has switched from being an agriculturist to being a teacher, determined to continue his mission of providing extension services and information to island communities.
