Speaking to H-Metro, Mawire said:
“I had been practising farming but not seriously before my leg was amputated but I was inspired to start again during the beginning of Covid-19.
“A friend of mine helped me helped me to start.
“I practise organic farming because I like healthy food.
“I do not use any fertilisers.

He added:
“My message to other disabled people is ‘disability is not inability’.
“There are so many things to do and I should look for what they are good at and go for it.
“It can be done, I am testimony.
