It aims to empower 32 women agripreneurs and farmers in Nigeria, Congo, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. The project focuses on SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) objectives. By providing targeted training, mentorship, and access to cutting-edge agri-tech tools, this initiative catalyzes the economic and innovative potential of women in agriculture across Sub-Saharan Africa, indirectly benefiting over 3,200 family and community members.
