Project Description and Impact
Afrixyz For SDG2 Global Youth Initiative focuses on empowering refugee and rural youth in Uganda through sustainable agriculture and entrepreneurship. Our mission aligns with the UN SDG2 goal of ending hunger by helping these communities produce organic products, access local and international markets, and build resilient livelihoods.
Given the challenges these marginalized groups face—such as limited market access, lack of resources, and minimal entrepreneurial support—our project seeks to provide the necessary skills, tools, and platforms for sustainable growth. While we have made progress through summits, conferences, and training sessions, scaling our impact requires expert support.
We need guidance on developing a scalable business model, expanding e-commerce operations, building strategic partnerships, and implementing effective monitoring frameworks. Additionally, we seek mentorship and consulting support to strengthen our fundraising efforts and enhance policy advocacy, ensuring that our initiative remains impactful and sustainable in the long term.
