As we mark International Day of Rural Women and International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, a significant number of rural women are not getting the support they need to contribute as equals to the sustainable development agenda.

Rural women continue to face numerous challenges — from limited access to education and land, to restrictive social norms and the impacts of climate change.

🔹 Lot 1: Soil and water quality monitoring kits
🔹 Lot 2: Data collection equipment (drones, cameras, GPS)
Proposals must include prices, delivery timelines, and warranty conditions (minimum 12 months).
On the 11 October 2025, we celebrated the strength, courage, and potential of every girl!
But this day is also a call to action: empowering girls transforms lives, families, and communities.
