Women farmers and family resilience
In Uganda, Diar Foundation’s community-development approach is centered on women’s productive participation. Historical and recent program documentation describes women engaged in agriculture, handicrafts, small business, savings, and planned livestock initiatives.
The work is designed to strengthen both productive capacity and women’s economic agency. Documented barriers include limited access to land, quality inputs, markets, water, training, and economic resources.
