Caption
Twenty-three year old Hildah Turyamusiima is taking part in Farm Africa’s coffee project in Kanungu, western Uganda, funded by UK aid from the UK government. She is a mother to one boy.
Project or event summary
Hildah is a TOT (Trainer of Trainees). She is also treasurer of her cooperative (the Banyakinkizi coffee producers and processors cooperative).
Coffee farming requires access to land, which is rare for women and young people in Kanungu. Farm Africa has helped overcome this barrier by running workshops and developing a manual promoting voluntary land use agreements where older generations and men voluntarily give women and young people access to land on which to produce coffee. Hildah has established a voluntary land use agreement with her husband (Francis Byamukama), which has given her about one acre of land planted with coffee to manage independently.
Through joint household planning, they’re able to plan how to use the money they make from coffee.
Quotes
“My goal is to buy a car and build a family house with my husband with the savings from our coffee sales. Natively, coffee has been predominantly a man’s crop. Our plan is to sell our coffee directly to exporters for better prices.”
"“Traditionally the coffee was for a man and for us women we were not benefitting anything from that coffee. They trained men to give us land agreements so that as women we could also benefit from the coffee produces. Farm Africa has trained us on GALS where there is a vision journey and a soul mate vision. Now, I am saving in a VSLA box to buy bricks. I will use money from my goats to buy cement and I will use the money from the coffee. COVID-19 has affected my vision: the price for coffee was reduced because there was no transport. It also affected our VSLA boxes because we were not saving. We thank Farm Africa so much for it came: we had nothing and now, we are seeing an improvement.”
