\nAt Ya Tchegbo, we believe independence also comes from access to meaningful work, skills, and lasting income.\n<\/p>\n
\nFor several years now, the association has been supporting women survivors of gender-based violence and their children in Benin: emergency shelter, psychosocial, medical, and legal support, and vocational training.\n<\/p>\n
Our agroecological farm is a central lever for strengthening the independence of both the association and the women we support.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Three Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1. Feed the Centers<\/strong><\/p>\n \nVegetable production free of pesticides and chemical fertilizers helps feed the women and children we shelter, with the goal of food self-sufficiency and reduced supply costs.\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Generate Income for the Association<\/strong><\/p>\n \nPart of the production is sold locally. Developing livestock, fish farming, and food processing will help diversify this income.\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. Train the Women We Support<\/strong><\/p>\n \nAs a working training farm, it teaches sustainable farming techniques: soil preparation and sowing, maintenance and irrigation, harvesting, processing, and sales. These skills then help women find or create employment once they leave the association.\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Potential Held Back by a Lack of Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n \nIrrigation is currently the main constraint on production. We want to strengthen our pumping system, install more efficient irrigation, acquire suitable farm equipment, and gradually develop livestock and fish farming.\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why We Need You<\/strong><\/p>\n \nEvery improvement means producing more, training more women, and strengthening the association's financial independence.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \nIt means feeding women and children, generating income for an association fighting violence against women, and passing on skills so they can build their own future.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00c0 Ya Tchegbo, nous pensons que l’autonomie passe aussi par l’acc\u00e8s \u00e0 une activit\u00e9, des comp\u00e9tences et des revenus durables.
