Anloga DCE supports 100 Young Women Farmers with fertiliser through Mastercard Foundation Initiative
15th October 2025
The District Chief Executive (DCE) of Anloga, Sandra Seyram Kpedor, has facilitated the donation of 100 bags of fertiliser to 100 young women farmers in the district.
The support forms part of the Mastercard Foundation’s “Happy Programme,” an initiative aimed at strengthening local food systems by empowering women engaged in small-scale farming — a key livelihood source for many families in the Anloga District.
Speaking during the presentation ceremony, Madam Kpedor commended the beneficiaries for their resilience and commitment to agriculture, describing them as “true examples of determination in the face of economic and environmental challenges.”
“These women have shown exceptional dedication to farming despite the odds. This support is both a recognition of their efforts and an encouragement for them to continue feeding our communities,” she said.
She reaffirmed her administration’s commitment to advancing women’s participation in agriculture and promoting sustainable livelihoods through partnerships and practical support.
“I remain committed to working with stakeholders to promote sustainable agricultural growth in the Anloga District. Our farmers are the backbone of our economy, and empowering them—especially young women—is key to building a resilient agricultural sector,” Madam Kpedor added.
The beneficiaries, mainly vegetable farmers, expressed appreciation for the donation, noting that the fertiliser would help boost crop yields and reduce production costs.
The “Happy Programme” provides training, input support, and mentorship to young women farmers, equipping them with the resources to expand their agribusinesses and contribute to food security and rural development.
Stakeholders present at the event described the intervention as timely and impactful, emphasizing that supporting women in agriculture is critical to reducing poverty, ensuring food sustainability, and driving inclusive economic growth in the district and beyond.
The Anloga District is renowned for extensive vegetable and crop farming across communities such as Woe, Tegbi, Anloga, Dzita, and Agbledomi, where farmers cultivate onions, shallots, tomatoes, lettuce, and other produce essential to the local economy.
