Mbale Women's Empowerment Agenda

Our agricultural training program covers sustainable farming practices, crop rotation, soil management, pest control, and post-harvest handling. We work with agricultural experts to ensure our members receive the most up-to-date information and techniques.

Training sessions are held monthly and include both classroom instruction and hands-on field practice. We also provide resources for members to implement these techniques on their own farms.

Our financial literacy program teaches basic money management skills, including budgeting, saving, and responsible borrowing. We also provide information on investment opportunities and how to access microfinance services.

Through partnerships with local financial institutions, we help members open savings accounts and access small business loans. We believe financial independence is key to breaking the cycle of poverty.

Our community support services include counseling, health education, and assistance with accessing medical care. We work closely with local health centers to ensure our members receive the care they need.

We also provide support groups for people living with HIV/AIDS and their families, helping to reduce stigma and promote understanding within the community. Our outreach programs target the most vulnerable members of our society.

Our vocational training programs include tailoring, hairdressing, baking, liquid soap making, and reusable sanitary pad production. These skills provide alternative income sources for our members.

Training is provided by skilled artisans within our community, ensuring that the skills taught are relevant and marketable. We also help graduates access startup kits and connect with potential customers.

Our Climate Smart Agriculture program focuses on techniques that increase productivity, enhance resilience, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We train farmers in water conservation, soil management, and crop diversification strategies adapted to changing climate patterns.

Key components include:

• Conservation agriculture practices
• Water harvesting and efficient irrigation
• Integrated pest management
• Agroforestry and crop diversification
• Soil conservation and organic fertilization

We work with meteorological services to provide climate information services that help farmers make informed decisions about planting and harvesting times.
