The Maize Project

Maize is one of the most important cereal crops in Uganda. Child Care Empowerment aims at training small scale farmers with good agriculture practices (GAP) at a demonstration field, providing agriculture inputs (40kg of improved maize variety, 20 hoes, 40kg fertilizers, 20 tarpaulin for post harvest handling) and linking farmers to viable agriculture markets to improve on food security and increased income of maize producers in Buwenge. Child Care Empowerment’s goal is to contribute to food security and increased well-being of maize producers and consumers in Jinja district.
