About Us
Twendekazi was started in 2017 as a small urban farming project in the outskirts of Kampala City has steadily and significantly grown into a national task force for mobilising urban, sem-urban as well as rural peasants more especially the youths to get actively involved in commercial farming activities that enhance house hold incomes in our bid to combat unemployment and poverty.
Our great mission is to work to raise awareness against the negative mindset the community has about farmimg both in urban, semi-urban as well as in rural settings which have for many years made our communities lose interest in farming and reduced production.
n this post covid19 lockdown era where many economies are struggling to recover,we commit ourselves to mobilising farmers on two fronts of development. a) encouraging the already practicing farmers to shift from low income farming to high income methods of farming that are able to tremendously increase production.
Our Projects
We empower the youth to overcome the challenges encountered in the agricultural sector industry by facilitating them to become proactive and dynamic leaders who advocate for improvement of agricultural production in their local communities to combat hunger, food security, and economic empowerment
School Gardening
Through this initiative, students will take part in creating and maintaining a vibrant garden on school grounds, where they can plant and care for various crops and plants. This project not only teaches students about horticulture but also fosters teamwork, responsibility, and environmental stewardship
Urban Youth Farming
The Urban Youth Farming Project for Twendekazi is an initiative aimed at engaging young people in urban agriculture while promoting sustainability, environmental awareness, and community empowerment. By introducing youth in Twendekazi to the principles of urban farming, this project will provide them with the tools to grow food, develop valuable life skills, and create a more resilient and self-sustaining community.
The Largo Sub Region
The Largo Sub Region likely refers to a specific area within a larger administrative or geographical region. While I don’t have details about this particular subregion, I can still help by suggesting general project ideas tailored to the development, growth, and sustainability of a subregion, whether it’s focused on agriculture, community development, youth engagement, or other sectors.
