Project Description
This project addresses multi-dimensional poverty through a livelihoods lens. It aims to increase household income of last-mile subsistence farmers to $2.00 USD/day. This project focuses on women- and youth- headed households in hard-to-reach communities in the Kyenjojo District in Western Uganda. From Last Mile Into Possibilities is partnering with communities and local government district offices to implement community-based initiatives which see equitable household income improvement and empowered ownership of financial earnings and assets. This project aims to reach approximately 22 500 households and 100 000 beneficiaries.
