Meet Halima

Halima, a mother of three, left school at a young age and was married as a teenager. Like many families in her community, she and her husband relied on small-scale farming but struggled to grow enough food to meet their needs. With limited access to agricultural training and inputs, their income remained unstable, and daily life was uncertain. Determined to change her circumstances, Halima joined a women’s savings group connected to a climate-smart agriculture and poultry project.

Through the program, Halima embraced every opportunity to learn. She trained in organic fertilizer production, climate-smart farming, and poultry feed creation using locally available materials. Discovering a passion for this work, she began growing sunflower to process into poultry feed, eventually turning her skills into a small business. With additional training in business management and market connections, Halima grew into a reliable supplier, increasing her income and helping meet the needs of other farmers in her community.

Today, Halima is able to provide food, education, and healthcare for her family. She has also become a mentor and role model, sharing her knowledge with other women and encouraging them to pursue new opportunities. Her story reflects the power of practical training, community support, and women’s empowerment to create lasting change—for families and for entire communities.
