Agwenda Investments

Our latest project

AWILI has partnered with the Centre for Agricultural Transformation (ATI) for 2 years to transform more “unbankable” rural women farmers.

The stated aim of CAT is to support smallholder Malawian farmers in diversifying their incomes and livelihoods to reduce their reliance on tobacco farming.
