From Trainee to Trainer

Sometimes the biggest transformation happens quietly, one season at a time.

⭐ Featured Sarah Nakato standing proudly in her thriving vegetable garden

I came for a course. I left with a calling.

When I first joined the organic crop production course, I had one small garden and no plan. The trainers didn’t just teach me how to farm — they showed me I could lead. Two years later, I’m running my own demonstration plot and training other women in my village.

Graduates of our programmes, working across Uganda, building better livelihoods one season at a time.

My first harvest was 8 kilograms of honey. I sold it all in three days. Now I have twelve hives and I’m saving for a motorbike to reach more markets.

I turned kitchen waste into income. The vermicompost course paid for my daughter’s school fees in the very first harvest cycle.

Value Addition Rebecca Auma preparing packaged dried fruit products

Before, I sold tomatoes for almost nothing during harvest season. Now I dry them and sell tomato powder at three times the price — all year round.

The greenhouse course changed how I think about seasons. I now harvest tomatoes even in the dry months when prices are highest.
