The difference you are making
We are delighted to report that your generous contributions have made a big difference to the lives of these women farmers. We have raised almost $28,000 to date. We need your continued support to reach our goal of $50,000 before the end of 2021.
Resilience during the COVID-19 second wave
The latest wave of the pandemic has resulted in increased challenges for the women, including limited access to and from their villages. Lockdown restrictions have resulted in a lack of transport facilities, unavailability of seeds, fertilisers and pesticides, and inaccessible markets.
Our partners, Kheyti have trained the women farmers to communicate their problems via WhatsApp. Using their network, Kheyti then connects them to appropriate solution providers on a timely and effective basis. For example, Yalaya was unable to buy seeds due to inaccessible markets, and was then introduced to a local supplier.
The positive outcome of adopting innovative solutions during such adversity is that these women continue to farm using their climate-smart greenhouses with confidence. They also benefit from having instant access to information about local weather conditions, market prices for their crops and the support of a responsive and resilient community.
Your generosity is improving the lives of many more women farmers
Together with our partners, Kheyti, we are training another 100 women farmers to start using their climate-smart greenhouses. Every $ will directly benefit these women and sustain their farming. You are a very big part of the progress and positive change to the livelihoods that these women are making.
