KISORO, UGANDA – The Eastern and Southern Africa Small Farmers Forum (ESAFF) Uganda has successfully concluded a three-day workshop in Nyakabande Subcounty, Kisoro District, aimed at empowering young women.
The training brought together over 25 women under the age of 35 from various subcounties.
The workshop’s core focus was to equip young women with essential skills for better family management and to emphasize their fundamental right to own property.
