HELP FOR RURAL WOMEN FARMERS


COURTESY WORLD BANK

Africa, a continent with huge agriculture potential. Yet, the cost of farming and crops skyrocket daily. There is little impact in the rural areas for all the government polices and agriculture grants. Our rural areas are teeming with enterprising women and girls hard at work in the farms, in food production, or in the markets. The work is tiresome and produces very little income for some. They need better access to information, finance, and marketing network. 

In 2017, Amber Africa is working with these rural women in the areas of:
* Farming Education
* Loans
* Money Saving Schemes and 
* Marketing support. 

Our Pilot schemes are ongoing in Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria, where local communities are benefiting from our training and support.
