What is CeWaFS-Ghana?

Centre for Women and Food Security-Ghana is a community developments-based organization seeking to ensure that women in rural, smallholder and indigenous farmers and their communities are educated, empowered and engaged in agriculture value chains development.
  • Help indigenous farmers gain access to modern agricultural technology, and innovation to enhance resilient and sustainable food systems.
  • Provide social and Technical Support to rural Women, smallholders and indigenous farmers and train them to gain new streams of income through regenerative farming.

  • Agricultural waste management: we teach indigenous farmers to produce local organic fertilizer from agricultural waste, thus compost making and organic manure, and managing agrochemicals to prevent pollution of water bodies since they drink from these water bodies. Teach rural and indigenous farmers to manage plastics and make the ecosystem friendly to mitigate climate change.

  • Help rural, indigenous and deprived vulnerable communities restore depleted forests and agricultural lands to boost ecosystem services and enhance farm yields, to build food security for themselves.

  • CeWaFS-Ghana is committed to helping rural women achieve food security and are empowered to gain financial independence and boost livelihoods of their communities.
  • At CeWaFS-Ghana everyone counts. The personal traits, commitment, passion, and tolerance are the forces that drive our success. Our inclusivity motivates us to embrace innovation and create the social impact we envision for our society, and the strong enabled institutions we seek to build for the humanitarian sector.
  • Supports rural women, indigenous and smallholder farmers to create programming that will help small scale women farmers to be more involved in agriculture value chains, thus connecting them to ready markets, helping them to improve farm productivity, maximize yields and achieve food security.
