In early March of this year, Women Care Initiative (WOCI) procured and supplied farming tools and seedings to 3 communities to carryout low land farming following a thorough needs assessment. The communities include Johnson Farm, Beh-Sao and Damah respectively.

As a result of this intervention, these women farming groups are now actively involved with peanut and corn farming while they also generate proceeds from Soap making as critical sources of income to support their Village Saving and micro loan program. The total membership of women is around 60 persons with over 95% made of women and girls while men are also a member of the agricultural component of these groups.
