IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Entrepreneurship: Rooted Wisdom Africa invests in families, students, farmers and community members through entrepreneurial training programs to support income generation and self-sufficiency. These programs support disadvantaged populations as they learn valuable business skills and vocational training in an effort to increase their income, food security and scalable agribusinesses.

In 2022, Rooted Wisdom Africa's Women's Enterprise Training Program supported over 200 Ugandan women. The Farmer Field School pilot program was launched in 2022.

In 2022, 28 initial farmers were supported through the Farmer Field School Program. The Community Development Associates (CDA) program support a shift from subsistence farming to commercial agriculture. In 2022, Rooted Wisdom Africa supported 50 community members participating in its Community Development Associations Program.
