Women Provide Up to 82% of the Rural Poor's Food and Produce.
The challenge
Northern Uganda, a post-conflict region with fertile land, faces significant food security challenges despite decades of aid efforts. Climate change, poverty, and poor farming practices have exacerbated these issues.
Unpredictable weather patterns, deforestation, and land degradation have devastated crops and livelihoods. Women, who are primarily responsible for food security, are disproportionately affected by these challenges.
To address these pressing issues, we must support farmers in adopting sustainable agricultural practices and investing in climate resilience.
Our Solution
We support women farmers by offering agricultural loans and training in northern Uganda empowering women farmers to increase food security and improve their livelihoods. Through hands-on training, our extension advisors are guiding women farmers in adopting sustainable farming practices. By eliminating field burning, using mulch, and managing rainfall effectively, farmers are enhancing their crop yields and diversifying their harvests.

Stories of Impact
Miliam, 48, Mother of 6
"Ever since I learned how mixed farming, I have had food available all year round. I also earn a weekly income by selling the vegetables we don't eat at the market. With this regular income, saving money has become much easier. The first time we divided our savings, I bought a goat and some chicken, which serve as my safety net for difficult times or in case of illness."
