On 18th December, a powerful step toward women’s economic empowerment unfolded in Mzimba as Women for Sustainable Agile Development (WOSAD), in partnership with GGEM Farming, carried out a successful field due diligence exercise at GVH Simon Chisi, Traditional Authority Mabulabo.
What may have looked like a routine field visit was, in reality, a meaningful milestone for women farmers in the area. The activity brought together community leaders, agritech experts, and women farmers with a shared goal: to strengthen women’s participation in agriculture through innovation, access, and opportunity.
During the visit, 50 women farmers under WOSAD were officially registered on the GGEM App. This process involved capturing essential farmer data such as farm sizes, locations, and contact details. By digitizing this information, the women are now better positioned to access modern farming tools, structured markets, and tailored support systems that can help them grow beyond subsistence farming into profitable agribusiness.
For many of the women, this marked their first direct engagement with digital agricultural platforms—an important step in closing the technology gap in rural farming communities. The integration of agritech not only improves efficiency and transparency but also opens doors to new opportunities, partnerships, and financial inclusion.
WOSAD remains committed to building pathways for women’s economic independence, and this collaboration with GGEM Farming reflects that vision in action. The hands-on support from the GGEM Agritech team made the exercise both practical and empowering, ensuring that each farmer understood the process and the benefits ahead.
As WOSAD and GGEM Farming continue this journey together, the focus remains clear: to nurture women farmers into confident, connected, and commercially successful producers. In Mzimba, seeds of transformation have been planted—and with the right tools and support, they are set to grow.
