🌾 Turning seasonal harvests into lasting opportunities for women in Faryab.

Recently, ActionAid, Afghanistan, through the FCDO-funded PREVALE project, provided 90 women in Gurziwan, Khwaja Sabz Posh and Pashtun Kot districts of Faryab Province with equipment to process and preserve locally grown fruits and vegetables.

Each woman received a package including a solar dryer, weighing scale, preparation equipment and hygiene materials. These tools will help women dry and preserve seasonal produce, improve food handling and reduce post-harvest losses.

By extending the shelf life of agricultural products, this support aims to improve household food availability and create opportunities for women to earn income from selling preserved produce.

With continued technical guidance and follow-up, the initiative will support women’s participation in local agricultural value chains and strengthen their contribution to household livelihoods and resilience.
