What we do and why

We want to improve the lives of women and their families whose very existence has been a struggle.
By improving their education in agricultural practice,
- By encouraging them to keep their families (especially their daughters in school)
By providing a hand to lift them into sustainable farming.
We know that these women will work collectively to solve the problems they face in their communities.
Educated and resourced women have less children, stand up against child marriage, and have a respected say in the decision making in their communities. They find solutions together. They will stay on their land if they can farm it productively and regeneratively and keep their families from the flight to cities where increased carbon emissions are generated. Watch Katherine Wilkinson's Ted talk in which she makes abundantly clear the need for gender equity as we work together to stop global warming.
Teacher support project
We have sponsored a teacher to upgrade the school to years 9 and 10.
This gives the local children the chance to stay on past the equivalent of our primary school. At the moment, there is only school to grade eight, and no school nearby. The only option is a 2 hour walk each way each day to the nearest school. So children are forced to leave school. This results in a high rate of child marriage.
