WEMAN
AND GALS WORKSHOPS
Gender inequality and the lack of full participation by women in
decision making and financial planning for family businesses are
key
contributors to poverty in Uganda and throughout the world. To address
this critical issue, Bukonzo Joint hosts workshops in Women's
Empowerment Mainstreaming and Networking (WEMAN) and Gender Action
Learning Systems (GALS). Both the WEMAN and GALS workshops are supported
by Oxfam Novib, the Netherlands. .

RURAL ELECTRIFICATION
To help our farmers to
increase their profits, and to bring an array of other advances to the
community, Bukonzo Joint has been instrumental in lobbying the government to
bring electricity to the village of Kyarumba where we're headquartered. The
introduction of electrical lines will enable the Cooperative operate processing
machinery and bring numerous technological improvements that maximize the
potential for our farmers to get a fair price for their coffee.
