OUR NICHE IS WOMEN, SECURITY OF TENURE, SHELTER, LAND & SOCIAL ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT FOR SLUM/GRASSROOTS WOMEN.

Women are an essential part of global value chains. As raw material producers, small-business owners, executives, retail workers, and consumers, women help businesses succeed and grow. Yet women continue to face barriers to achieve their full potential at work, in the marketplace

No food wasted. No resource left behind. Just women building solutions with what they have.

In the Busoga region, SWID trains women to intervene at every stage of the food chain - turning spoiled produce into organic fertilizer,building post-harvest handling skills,and using value addition to transform cassava into flour, starch, and baked goods when markets fall short.

@feminicides237 As Cote d'Ivoire hosts #AFCON, there have been rising concerns about the escalation of violence against women. The #CanSafe campaign provides emergency numbers to keep the women of the country safe from football related violence. #EndViolence #AFCONSafety

AWDF stands in solidarity with the campaigns currently led by feminists across the continent to expose gender-based violence. Women and girls have the right to exist free from harm, this should not be a matter of debate. #EndFemicideKE #CanSafe #StopFeminicides237
