Women Farmers Advancement Network (WOFAN) was formed in 1993 as a response to the plight of the rural women in Northern Nigeria, as people who are voiceless, poor and absolutely dependent on poor water and natural resources through the use of local/ indigenous technology. Over 1500 women, men and youth groups located in many local government areas (LGAs) across Kano State have formed the collative working groups of WOFAN (each group has 30 members).
WOFAN provides a wide range of services to rural communities to alleviate and promote economic, social and political empowerment of women and youths to transform agriculture into business and develop positive linkages across all the agricultural value chains including access to finance and technical know -how.
WOFAN over the years has supported thousands of households scaling up and diversifying their income, constructed and supported hundreds of communities to access safe drinking water, trained them on maintenance and construction of slabs and sanitation issues.
WOFAN is also taking a lead across Northern Nigeria to support rural education and improved livelihood of the girl-child and women empowerment.
