Empowering rural youth within the agricultural value chain is a practical and sustainable method of creating jobs and employment opportunities in rural communities. This is because their daily occupation revolves around agrarian activities. The Wuntira Agri Foundation is a pacesetter in improving rural livelihoods. It empowers rural female youth and women by supporting the formation of formal cooperatives, streamlining their agribusiness operations, and providing cooperative members with the needed practical working skills to produce value-added products from their farm commodities.
