From the Garden to the Home: How Farming Is Changing Lives in Gwetom A

In Gwetom A, Kaberamaido District, farmers are using improved agricultural practices, savings groups and collective marketing to strengthen their livelihoods and support their families. Through SAO Uganda’s interventions, 13 farmer groups with 233 members have gained skills, established savings structures and embraced farming as a business. For farmers like Arago Teddy, these changes are helping improve household income, support children’s education and strengthen community involvement in promoting child rights and well-being.
