Women Farmers Advancement Network (WOFAN) has given relief to Dumaji in Garun Malam in Kano State to mark World Food Day and International Day of Rural Women.
The reliefs are solar-powered borehole, women’s processing centre, solar-powered marketing hub, and electric vehicles, particularly for women and people with disabilities.
The solar-powered borehole, designed to serve the school, mosque, and others, will solve Dumaji’s water scarcity, improving health and hygiene.
This highlights WOFAN’s commitment to uplifting rural communities and foster sustainable development.
At the unveiling, Executive Director, Dr. Salamatu Garba, noted the empowerment these projects bring to Dumaji, especially through WOFAN’s ICON2 Project, with Mastercard Foundation.
She said the borehole, which reaches 13 points in Dumaji and neighbouring areas, will benefit three million people.
“The people are farmers and entrepreneurs, which is why we chose them to kickstart our activities for World Food Day and International Day of Rural Women,” Garba said.
In addition, 24 agro-tricycle loaders were distributed to farmers to ease transportation challenges.
The processing centre, with solar-powered dryer and processing machines, will reduce post-harvest losses and improve food security.
