A quiet agricultural revolution is taking root in Uganda and Burundi, led by women and youth. For years, farmers have relied on low-quality seeds, leaving them vulnerable to erratic rains and disconnected from lucrative markets. Without the right resources and knowledge, maximising yields and securing fair prices has remained a constant struggle. We are changing this through innovative Youth and Women Quality Centres. These hubs do more than distribute climate-resilient, market-preferred seeds; they serve as vibrant learning centres. Local champions train farmers on effective planting techniques, organise cooperatives, and connect them directly to traders and processors to ensure steady demand and economic growth. When women and youth lead, entire communities grow. Watch to see this transformation in action! support these champions of change to help us cultivate equity and resilience
