We are breaking the cycle of poverty by providing digital access for female farmers and traders to connect with buyers, sell more of their items at fair prices, reduce food waste, and increase their income by at least 50%. We have created an innovative solution that translates digital inclusion into economic prosperity for rural women. In addition to our e-commence solution that connects rural female sellers to buyers, we conduct digital financial literacy training in local languages and provide mobile devices for the women to access financial services, receive market and farming information, and connect with society at large. So far, we have trained 720 farmers and traders, improved digital financial knowledge and skills for over 80% of participants, provided mobile devices for 200 of them, facilitated over 10 million naira in sales, and helped increase their income by an average of 56.5% through our e-commerce solution. Our target is to reach 10 million rural women across Africa
