Africa Development Promise
Mission Statement
At Africa Development Promise, we believe that collective action and enterprise are proven pathways for empowering rural women achieve their economic goals. In fragile rural economies, small, single-owned enterprises tend to fail because the individual cannot bear to take the risk alone. This is especially true for women who also lack access to inputs, training, credit and markets that they need to gain social and economic independence.
Why Donate to Africa Development Promise?
The Coronavirus shutdown is wreaking havoc on the economy worldwide. In developing countries like Rwanda and Uganda, where Africa Development Promise works to empower rural women farmers, the virus is just one of the many urgent issues that people face. Floods, droughts, and most recently swarms of locusts have also been a threat to post-harvest loss as well. With little or, no social safety nets to help them out the travel ban and stay in place policies are hitting the rural poor the hardest. The agricultural cooperatives that ADP supports, mainly grow horticultural crops which have a short shelf-life. Until now they have managed this potential risk with contracts with restaurants, hotels, and other markets. However, contracts with restaurants and hotels are on pause and with the travel ban, they are slow to get their products to markets leading to significant post-harvest losses. With the lack of resources being offered during this time for women in agriculture, ADP needs your help to bridge the gap and with the recovery once the economy re-opens.
