Fosukrom women trade hoes for soap, beads, and climate sense

A farming town just taught its women how to make more than just crops. The Fosukrom Women Farmers Association ran a three-day workshop in the Bia District for local women and girls, funded by the Global Greengrants Fund. The training focused on building different money-making skills like producing soap and beads, and handling after-wash processes.

The goal was to create income options beyond unreliable rain-fed farming, boosting both economic power and community resilience against food shortages. A facilitator named Lucy Annor also talked about climate change problems and the risks of farm chemicals, telling everyone to use their new skills to better their lives.
