Women Empowerment Program

Strong women grow strong communities

Green Hills stands with the women who hold our community together: the grandmothers, the single mothers and the girls growing up beside them.

Who the program is for

Three groups of women who are too often left to manage alone.

Elderly women

Grandmothers who spent their lives caring for others deserve care in return: food from our harvest, company, and a real place in community life.

Single mothers

Mothers raising children on their own. We help them grow food and earn from it, so their families have more than one way to get by.

Young girls

Girls growing up in our community. We help them stay in school and learn skills that keep their choices open.

What the program does

At the heart of it is our Women's Farming Collective: mothers trained on the farm and given seeds and land to grow on. To confirm: 20 mothers so far?

  1. 01

    Land and seeds

    Every woman in the collective gets her own plot and seeds to start, so she can grow food for her household.

  2. 02

    Skills

    Hands-on training in the field, from planting to harvest, alongside the farm team.

  3. 03

    Income

    Help selling what they grow, so the harvest turns into money they control.

The women of Green Hills

Mothers and grandmothers from our community, and the friendships they make with visitors from abroad.

Two ways to help

Support the collective, or give a woman a flock of her own.

Help us give women land, skills and a fair price for what they grow.
