Women Smiles Uganda is a women-founded, women-led and women-focused social enterprise that was founded by like-minded young female social entrepreneurs with an aim of transforming the lives of women through eradication of hunger using the vertical farming mechanism. Women Smiles Uganda manufactures vertical farms and sells them affordably to women in urban slums where there is limited land to practice agriculture especially in areas profoundly affected by severe drought. We train women how to use the vertical farming mechanism and to make compost manure through vermicomposting. We also link our customers using artificial intelligence technology (USSD Code) directly to the market to sell any surplus produce. Our partner, Operation Wealth Creation, provides women with free improved seeds.
