Uplifting Women in Agriculture: The Heart of IGRAO Farm Livelihoods

Women head many households in Kyangwali. They care for children and prepare daily meals. IGRAO supports female farmers through dedicated groups like the Amahoro Women Poultry Group and Kyebitaka VSLA savings circles.

Small Enterprise & Financial Skilling

Through poultry management workshops, members learn feed formulation, egg marketing, and disease control. Combined with weekly VSLA savings meetings, participating women gain financial independence. This allows them to pay school fees, buy clothing, and invest in household health care.

When women have access to practical agricultural training and communal savings, the benefits ripple across the entire household, resulting in better nutrition, consistent school attendance, and enhanced family resilience.
