A donation was made to women farmers who are part of the RIMA platform. These women work within the RIMA platform structure in the Busiga commune, Kimagara hill.
They received clothes, boots, shoes, coats, and more. This donation was given to women and young producers/farmers registered on our RIMA platform.
The RIMA platform and ZAZOU GROUP are working together to establish a modern farm, called the “Future Farm,” on Ruyaga Hill in the Tangara commune.
This project aims to introduce innovative and sustainable farming techniques to inspire local farmers and boost agricultural productivity in the region.
Being part of this association has given me real support. The solidarity among farmers and the help with selling my products locally have been key assets for my farm. I feel more confident in my choices thanks to the mutual support.
"Joining the association has transformed my business. Thanks to collective purchasing, I save on supplies and have access to valuable technical expertise. The exchanges with other farmers have helped me improve my practices and diversify my production."
Joining the association has been a turning point. The training provided helped me adopt more sustainable farming practices, and the network is a great source of motivation. It’s been a rewarding experience both professionally and personally.
