”Shelton, Constance (CJ), and Latifah in Latifah’s farm where she now grows Irish potatoes and cabbage. She invested $300 in her farm, and has been able to increase her profits from $5/week to $30/week. She plans to expand into mushroom farming next.”
Profits (not gross sales) of $30 a week subsistence farming in Rural Rwanda seem close to impossible. I imagine this is what she told you? Perhaps this was just during harvest season or something, then it would make more sense.
Perhaps not completely impossible though if she’s unlocked a particular market!
And one quick query from the main article

Hi, yes this would be from self-reported data. We aren’t currently collecting detailed M&E data on economic indicators during this phase of work.
