The challenge
Farming in the drought-prone Dry Corridor had become a gamble, and women were shut out of technical climate roles.
The idea
Rural women operate ten low-tech weather stations, collecting and interpreting local climate data. Their forecasts reach neighbouring farmers through WhatsApp groups and local radio.
Results
- 10 women-run weather stations
- About 3,000 families reached
- Over 200 women trained as climate data collectors
- 30% rise in production
