From a garden plot to a growing community enterprise

A women-led garden is becoming a source of nutrition, income and new confidence.

A women-led garden is becoming a source of nutrition, income and new confidence.

What began as a shared growing space has developed into a practical learning hub for climate-smart agriculture, savings and enterprise. Women plan seasonal crops together and combine local knowledge with water-conscious production methods.

We began by growing for our households. Now we plan together, sell together and make decisions with confidence.

Regular savings meetings help members separate household money from enterprise income and prepare for inputs before the next season. The group is also strengthening relationships with local buyers.

The garden’s impact reaches beyond income. Members describe greater confidence in household decisions, stronger social support and improved access to diverse food.
