The training sessions include urban and rural agriculture lessons, corn crops and potato farming; pastry lessons; integration of 100 women and girls affected by the pandemic of on the local market and direct investment to beneficiaries.

Long-Term Impact

Our project will provide sustainable agricultural training and entrepreneurial capacity building to 100 women and girls affected by COVID-19 and Gender-Based Violence in the eastern DRC, from twenty women-led organizations, which will help them build economic resilience and stay out of poverty and hunger.
