“We aim to empower women so as to get them involved in agriculture. Because of this, we have seeds here to share with the women. Also, the women will go home with food relief packages.”

The school children who benefitted from the Renewed Hope Initiative include pupils of St. Peter’s Anglican Primary School, Community Primary School, Alaya, Duran Adigun Comprehensive Primary School, DC Primary School and Baptist Day Primary School, all in Oluponna.
