The Aka'ani Agripreneurship Initiative
We promote environmentally sensitive livelihoods.
The Aka'ani Agripreneurship Initiative empowers women and the youth in the community called “The Oaks”.
By creating a self-sustaining community farm, the women of the village will learn about organic farming and receive business training to sell their home-grown products afterwards. Aka'ani operates three projects in The Oaks, including the training centre, the geranium farm and the cultivation of several vegetable gardens in the village.
READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
We are looking for sponsors such as companies, associations and individuals who support us to implement and build the Agripreneurship Projects.
