Job Description

Background:
- Om Habibeh Foundation (OHF) is currently implementing, in West Aswan and the rural areas of Kom Ombo, a three-year project entitled “Women in Agriculture”, in collaboration with Drosos.

OHF piloted a similar project and pioneered the concept of engaging women in the agriculture sector, in small-scale home-based farming. The project will scale up the activities and support women to establish either Kitchen Gardens (KGs) in their backyards, where space is available, or Rooftop Gardens (RGs), in case backyard space is not available. The project will allow women to operate and maintain this small garden to grow vegetables and fruits for home consumption, reducing the expenses of food purchases, or selling excess produce, generating additional income.
