Training 20 Rural Women Farmers.

On Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th October, WOFHRAD-SL facilitated training for 20 rural women farmers, funded by ActionAid. Topics covered included basic agronomic farming methods, seed bank management and post harvest management. The aim of the training was to move women in Bombali Shebora from subsistence farming to productive farming, ensuring they can gain profit from their land to give better food and medical security for their families.

The training was an outstanding success, with the women fully participating in the discussions and group work. They were full of energy and even taught our two VSO-ICS volunteers how to sing and dance in the breaks! At the end of the two days every woman could say one thing they had learnt that they would pass on to another woman in their community, ensuring even more women would benefit from the training and that the project would be sustainable and have an even greater impact.

We took lots of amazing photos which we will try and update later!
