My goal is to raise more than $50,000 and I would like to use the Kick-starter platform or any other suggested platforms to make this dream a reality. in Africa, 70% of the people still carry out subsistence farming as their major source of income, which at times doesn't come in substantial amount to cater for the bills of life henceforth majority have stuck in poverty and other perished because of hunger, however due to the desire to survive some women have tried to look at vaious means to push forward even in the absence of proper leadership efforts and access to financing. i took up this responsibility to mobilize a few farmers so to create a virtuous cycle of livelihood project to enable them set up improve tomato gardens, create better post harvest handling mechanisms, generation accessible distribution channels for their produce and also add value to some in order to attract secondary sales revenue hence and connect them to sustainable social support services. this is believed to enable them increase their income, increase their savings, increase their investments and hence have improved purchasing power thus leading to household, communal and national development. this is the virtuous cycle of livelihood that can change farmers but we need a place to start off which is why this awesome support shall truly be a vital contribution to make this a reality. the truth is in Africa and majorly in rural areas which is where most of the population resides, the women are the actual breadwinners and also the real community change makers than the men as it is ought to be. however these women are not economically empowered and majority don't know how to set up small businesses and manage them successfully we endeavor to challenge this status quo.
