Girl Farms Hub is a woman-owned social enterprise founded by Thamar Victoria Afedu-Annan, dedicated to tackle the challenges of post-harvest loss, limited access to value-added food processing opportunities for women and smallholder farmers and the lack of healthy and preservative-free foods in the market.  They process underutilized but nutrient-rich crops, such as date fruits, beetroot and miracle berries, into innovative health foods like syrups, functional powders, infusions and natural sweeteners, combining indigenous ingredients with modern food innovation. Their business strategy integrates climate-smart sourcing, small-scale food processing and inclusive market distribution to address food security, improve nutrition and drive women’s economic empowerment within the agricultural value chain. In doing so, they create dignified local jobs, especially for women and youth, while meeting the rising demand for nutritious and natural food products. 

Girl Farms Hub will leverage RAMA Impact’s financial and non-financial support to increase its production capacity by 40% and its revenue by 50%, while creating 4 additional jobs for women in underserved communities and onboarding 15 additional famers into their supply chain. The social enterprise will increase up-cycling of date, beetroot and miracle berry residues by 45%, up-cycle at least 500 kg of production and agricultural waste into secondary products such as animal feed and organic inputs, export 20% of its production and secure at least 10% of its fundraising target, over a period of 9 months.
