Train,Finance,women farmers earn fair price for their crops.

 In Uganda 50% 0f single Parents are mothers, they struggle a lot to provide for their children in terms of school fees and other basic necessities of life.

Women contribute 88% of the agricultural labor force and the majority are rural women farmers, they have access to land but lack the finances to venture into farming.

According to FAO report 2021, 80% of Ugandas land is arable but unfortunately only 35% is cultivated. This has led to food shortage,massive poverty and general economic underdevelopment.

Budget Agro saves we train, finance rural women farmers to invest in commercial farming to increase quantities and qualities of production. We also support putting their crops in a pool in tonnes, we market it to bulk buyers such as the World food program, UNHCR, which offer relatively high prices compared to middlemen traders.

This enables them to increase production, contribute to UN SDGs of Zero hunger and No poverty.

Rural women farmers in Central Uganda, in Mpigi, and Wakiso Districts. They are currently underserved because they have access to land and they currently do subsistence farming due to a lack of finances and knowledge to venture into commercial farming.

Our solution addresses their need by organizing them into saving groups to save as a requirement to train, borrow finances and venture into commercial farming,to produce more and sellmore. 

We are a team of three women passionate about women empowerment.

We are all farmers and have direct access to women farmers' communities. Refer to pitch Deck.

We currently have 45 women, rural farmers, in our saving group in need to borrow finances to venture into commercial farming and the finances available cannot finance all the financial needs.

So we need funding to energize our pool of funds to finance rural women farmers to venture into commercial farming and contribute to the UN SDGs of Zero hunger and No poverty.

Our solution provides improvement because rural women farmers have access to land but couldn't access finance credit from financial institutions due to lack of collateral.

Bulk marketing of their crops also enables them to get high prices from their produce to eliviate poverty and pay government taxes.

Our impact goal is to impact the lives of 40 rural women for this year and we shall achieve this through the creation of awareness of what we do to get more women into the saving group to save more.

We also have the sell of shares so that we create abig source of finances for lending to women farmers to produce more and sell more crops.

We believe that when rural women farmers get access to training, finance and market for their produce they will produce more and sell more thus leads to financially sustainable communities.

A digital platform that democratizes micro-lending to rural women farmers and provides timely data on markets and competitive prices for agricultural produce.

We encourage rural women farmers that are mmarried to come for training with their husbands and since we train and finance them to venture into commercial farming, we encourage women with disabilities to train and access finances to pay for mechanization of farming such as the use of tractors to enhance diversity,equity and inclusion.

We get into the local council offices in the village to introduce what we do to get support to reach women farmers, we organize them to subscribe to membership and save.

We train them and lend them money in relation to what they want to venture into farming,they pay back with an interest after harvesting.

We support to pool their crops to sell to bulk buyers that we also earn a commission as another revenue stream.
