Mughende Women Farmers Association (MUWOFA)

Activities

Kobusinge Jemimah the MUWOFA Trainer

Teaching women how to grow healthy food was the association's first activity. They focus on small-scale horticulture; the sustainable, organic cultivation of vitamin-rich vegetables such as cabbage and eggplant. During training vegetable gardening, women learn to work a piece of land in a natural way. The vegetables are for personal use and for sale on the market.
