COSMA's Agricultural Empowerment Program supports rural Ugandan farmers, especially women, in transitioning from subsistence to commercial farming through the Village Cooperative Model which provides training, financial support, quality seeds, improved techniques, and financial literacy, the program boosts yields, strengthens food security, and fosters economic independence, enabling families to achieve self-sufficiency.
In rural Uganda, many families depend on subsistence farming, but low yields, poor market access, and lack of financial resources keep them in poverty. With no stable income, parents struggle to afford school fees, forcing children to miss out on education and limiting future opportunities. This cycle of poverty persists as farmers remain trapped without the tools or support needed to improve their livelihoods.
The Agricultural Empowerment Program helps farmers move from subsistence to commercial farming by providing quality seeds, training, and financial support. By increasing yields, improving market access, and offering capital loans, farmers can earn stable incomes, afford school fees, and achieve long-term self-sufficiency.
Long-term, the Agricultural Empowerment Program creates self-sustaining farming communities where families no longer rely on aid. Increased incomes allow parents to afford school fees, ensuring education for future generations. Improved farming practices lead to higher yields, food security, and economic stability. As farmers gain financial independence, they reinvest in their land and communities, fostering lasting economic growth and breaking the cycle of poverty for future generations.
