This project will empower 300 rural women through income generating activities, providing capacity building and initial capital for agricultural activities in rural areas. These 300 rural women are mostly vulnerable due to the high poverty levels and economic hardships.
The community is faced with a high rate of poverty, characterized by economic hardships, social injustice, and inequality for rural women. Rural women in these communities lack monetary support since they are unbanked, and worse still they have very little support even from the government.
