Ustawi Afrika
Empowering rural women for sustainable livelihoods, developments and shared prosperity.
Description
Agricultural Training and Education: Ustawi Afrika offers training programs and workshops to equip rural women with knowledge and information about modern and sustainable agricultural practices. This could include techniques for soil conservation, water management, and climate-smart agriculture.
Access to Seeds and Inputs: The organization works on ensuring that rural women have access to quality seeds, fertilizers, and other agricultural inputs necessary for productive farming.
Market Linkages: Ustawi Afrika could assist rural women in accessing markets for their agricultural products, helping them connect with buyers and fair trade opportunities.
Financial Inclusion: The organization may focus on providing financial literacy training and access to microcredit or small loans to empower rural women economically.
Climate Change Adaptation: Given the challenges posed by climate change, Ustawi Afrika could implement projects aimed at building resilience in farming practices, introducing drought-resistant crops, and promoting climate-smart agricultural techniques.
Livelihood Diversification: The organization might support rural women in diversifying their livelihoods by introducing income-generating activities beyond agriculture, such as handicrafts, small-scale businesses, or community-based enterprises.
We also support rural education by paying voluntary carbon credits to rural women, who in turn take care of all trees that are planted under Ustawi Afrika.
