Graceland Community Development Foundation has successfully kick-started the AgriCredit4Her for its project Initiative with a one-day training held on December 2, 2025 for 70 women farmers across three communities in Chikun LGA, Sabon Tasha and Maraba Rido of Kaduna State.

The AgriCredit4rher initiative aims to empower women farmers by training them on best modern farming practices and afterwards link then to financial opportunities to boost their productivity.


In her welcome address at the training, founder and lead of the foundation, Grace Hosea said that it's the beginning of a new chapter for female farmers.

"Today is not just another training, it marks the beginning of a new chapter for women farmers in Chikun, Sabon Tasha, and Maraban Rido.

"I am deeply honored and proud to stand before 70 strong, hardworking women who feed their families and contribute to our economy every single day," she said.

According to her, for long, women farmers have worked tirelessly with very little support or no access to credit, no modern tools, and limited opportunities.


"AgriCredit4Her was created to change that story. This initiative is about giving you knowledge, giving you access, and giving you a voice in the agricultural economy.

"Today, you have learnt modern farming practices that can transform your yields and income. But we are not stopping at training alone. We will also work with you to connect you to real financial opportunities so you can access loans, grow your farms, and move from subsistence to sustainable agribusiness," she said.

Grace Hosea therefore, charged all the women present at the training , to remember that their hands feed the nation.

"And your dreams are valid. When women succeed in agriculture, families thrive, communities grow, and Nigeria becomes stronger," she assured.

On behalf of Graceland Community Development Foundation, she thanked the women for their courage, commitment, and belief in the vision.

"Together, we will build a future where women farmers no longer struggle alone," she further assured.
