AGRICULTURAL SUPPORT

SUPPORTING WOMEN IN AGRICULTURE PROJECT: (SWAG PROJECT)

This project promotes climate change and good agricultural practises to ensure food security.


The overall objective of this project is to create resilient, self-sustaining farming communities where poverty and hunger are reduced. This is being achieved through strengthening the livelihoods, nutrition and climate resilience of smallholder farmers in greater Masaka Region.


Majority of women in rural areas are smallholder farmers. WRF sources for micro-financing and basic low level training that the women need to grow more food grow cash crops well so as to earn more money.


Activities:


  1. We source for training for women on the latest agricultural practices that are applicable in a rural set-up.
  2. We promote vegetable growing to improve on the nutrition of families through the campaign of replacing flowers with eye catching vegetables in their compounds. This makes it easy to manage and they can grow vegetables in and out of season.
