Youth and Women Empowerment

Masaka Cooperative Union (MCU) views Youth and Women Empowerment not just as a social responsibility, but as a critical economic strategy for ensuring the long-term sustainability and growth of agriculture in the Greater Masaka region.

Their projects focus on mobilizing these demographics to become active participants in the coffee and horticultural value chains.
