Frustrating rural poverty through provision of improved farm inputs, trainings and better markets among rural women and youths in Malawi

[Agwenda Women Input Loan Initiative (AWILI) @AWILI016]

Meet Grace Mwambe, from T.A. Mwadzama, Nkhotakota, accessed a 1.5 million loan from #AWILI for her farm inputs. Her sales proceeds, she purchased chickens 🐔, goats 🐐, and cattle 🐄, creating a new stream of income and a form of savings that will appreciate over time.

#AWILI cashless repayment model is a darling to the rural farming communities. Photo, farmers collecting their repayment vessels to offset their loans.

We are happy to have encouraged farmers to venture in chilies value chain as they will smile all the way to the bank this year. #Agwenda, we put our money where our mouth is.

#AGCOM supported warehouses not only makes #AWILI work easier for consolidating produce among women cooperatives but also doubles as meeting points for interaction and trainings. Kudos to AGCOM!! Mwatichotsa minga kumsana.

Harvest time is here!! The crop stand looks good for #AWILI farmers, the set government minimum prices look promising for our rural farmers. Time to make that money!!

#AWILI lead farmers possess valuable local knowledge. They regularly monitor crop performance, providing #earlywarnings and #guidance.

We were invited The National Youth Council of Malawi #NYCOM to engage with their youth farmers and sell #AWILI products and services. Plaform was necessary for #AWILI as #NYCOM attracted vibrant youth farmers with good credit history in #Nkhotakota.

Although most parts of the country have experienced adiabatic rains, our farmers will salvage normal to good yields due to timely provision of quality seeds + timely planting.
