Climate change poses a threat to agricultural productivity and food systems, and this particularly affects women in Africa due to social inequality and gender-based challenges. To address this issue, Women Smiles Uganda designs eco-friendly vertical farms and engages their beneficiaries in waste management practices such as recycling plastic for use in farming units. Their team, led by Lilian Nakigozi, the Founder and CEO, consists of passionate individuals who are committed to making a positive change. With their tailored solutions and innovative approach, Women Smiles Uganda is working towards a future where communities have access to sustainable food sources and women and youth are empowered to thrive.
