Empowering Communities through Sustainable Agro-Production
Join us for an engaging Agriculture & Sustainability Workshop designed to promote eco-friendly, income-generating practices across rural and peri-urban communities. This hands-on training brings together farmers, entrepreneurs, youth, and women groups to explore innovative ways of transforming natural resources into sustainable livelihoods while protecting the environment.
