The majority of rural households in Northern Uganda survive on subsistence farming as a major source of livelihood and income. At PIRWA, we empower households with techniques through training them on long-term food storage and value addition among other skills, which foster self-employment, agriculture, business, and foster individuals and families to sustain themselves economically.
