Sarah Tendo, a farmer from a small village in Uganda, had a dream of turning her farm into a thriving business. However, she lacked the resources and knowledge to make it happen. When she joined Chucks Foods Uganda Limited’s “Women Farmer Support” program, her journey toward success began.
Chucks Foods provided Sarah with training in sustainable farming practices, business management, and market linkages. She also gained access to high-quality seeds and financial support to expand her farm. The company introduced her to a network of women farmers, where she found mentorship and encouragement.
With Chucks Foods’ support, Sarah diversified her farm’s products and developed a unique brand. She began producing organic ginger and ginseng powders, which quickly gained popularity in local markets. Her partnership with Chucks Foods also opened doors to new sales channels, allowing her to sell directly to consumers through e-commerce.
Sarah’s success story is one of transformation and empowerment. She not only achieved her dream of turning her small farm into a thriving enterprise but also became a role model for other women in her community. Her journey underscores the importance of support, training, and access to markets for women farmers in Uganda.
