Rooted Wisdom Africa (formerly Into Your Hands Africa) teaches farming techniques to new and existing farmers in 10 villages in Kikinene, Uganda. This Farmer Field School Program teaches farming at a demonstration farm with twice a week 4-hour lessons (29 total lessons). The Farmer Field School Program operates on a no-cost or low-cost basis, ensuring that participants have access to comprehensive training in both business and agricultural aspects of farming. With the support of the first Project Grant from AllPeopleBeHappy foundation in 2022, the initial cohort of 28 farmers successfully graduated in June of 2023. This project empowers marginalized people in rural Uganda by fostering opportunity, learning, and self-sufficiency. The second Project Grant of $9,000 is being used to support the training of two new cohorts starting in December of 2023.
