What We Do
Our organization is determined to equip the marginalized women in Uganda with essential livelihood skills continued support
HANDS-ON TRAINING ON SMART URBAN FARMING
We aim to equip marginalized women with modern urban farming techniques where they are able to utilize minimum available space to maximize production of crops using pots, terraces, (vertical farming) and raised beds.
The Hands-On Experience enables the women acquire practical skills to generate income. The hands-on learning is through a demonstration farm where they can apply their knowledge and gain practical experience.
FINANCIAL LITERACY SKILL
The goal is to equip participants with confidence and capability to start and manage finances of their urban farms, putting their newly acquired skills into practice.
Training on budgeting, saving, and investing to ensure effective financial management.
Equipping women with the knowledge to make informed financial decisions and explore new employment opportunities.
Community support and Cooperative development
The formation of cooperatives enables women grow together and be able to sustain and support themselves.
-The women benefit in the following ways:
-The cooperatives create a strong network of support among themselves.
-The cooperatives facilitate joint access to markets and value chains, enabling members to sell products at fair prices and reinvest profits into their businesses.
-Through the cooperative, members contribute 5% of their profits to a cooperative fund that supports future cohorts of marginalized women.
-Achievements of participants motivate others, promoting economic independence throughout Mukono and beyond.
Pre-School kid’s Garden
As a way of having the mothers concentrate during trainings without worrying about where to leave their kids, The Kids Garden Project creates a safe space where preschool children of the participants are able to bond with their mothers.
This is possible through educational activities where children engage in gardening and learning about farming and nature.
