Who can we ignore #womens' role in food security & economic growth? Yet, many still face challenges, limited access to land, finance & tech.
It’s time to empower & support women in agriculture.

Arsenal Champions! ❤️🤍
Our farmers are smiling from ear to ear in the fields! Since we started operations 12 years ago, we’ve watched some of our hardworking team become proud @Arsenal supporters. Today they’re celebrating this victory right where it all happens, among the crops.

To the young people of #Rwanda, being young is not enough. You cannot afford to waste any opportunity. Do not let the fear of failure or taking risks stand in the way of who you can be. Claim your rightful place in the world, no one will hand it to you
Under the OMIS Project, implemented by YEAN, and @HoReCo_Rw in partnership with RAB, a one-week workshop is underway to harmonize training manuals for the Marshland Irrigation Management Model.
Developed by the WAMCAB project, these manuals cover Irrigation Water User Organizations strengthening, as well as water, financial, and Operation & Maintenance management and will be used for in-class training to capacitate farmers.
The workshop ensures alignment and consistency across all training materials.
Today, our CEO @RBucyana, together with senior staff, joined @YEAN_Agro and #RAB teams in a 5-day workshop in @MusanzeDistrict to harmonize training manuals under the #OMISProject, implemented through the #WAMCAB Model.
The discussions focused on irrigation strategies, strengthening Water Users Organizations (WUOs), and improving operations, maintenance, water, and farm management.
The expected outcome is validated, context-specific training modules to support effective farmer capacity development.

Today, we concluded four days of monitoring the progress of chili nurseries established across the Eastern Province Rwanda. The activity brought together senior agronomists from Morison Food Company and YEAN , who provided agronomic guidance to ensure optimal growth and productivity of the seedlings.
In Bugesera District, transplanting will begin next week. Meanwhile, in Gatsibo, Ngoma, and Rwamagana, transplanting is expected to start within the next few days, depending on the development stage of the seedlings.
