In a forward-thinking initiative aimed at boosting agricultural productivity and capacity building, the Keycom Empowerment Foundation recently visited the IWO Community in Isin, Kwara State. During this visit, the foundation provided the Agbelere Farmers Association with cartons of herbicides at subsidized prices. This generous donation, part of Keycom’s mission to eradicate poverty and promote sustainable development, benefited over 40 farmers, significantly enhancing their agricultural operations.
Empowering Farmers with Essential Resources
Keycom’s C.O.O. personally oversaw the distribution of the herbicides to ensure they reached the grassroots farmers who play a crucial role in local and international food production. Alh. Hon. Andul Waheed Zubair, spearheading the Agbelere Farmers Association, received the items on behalf of the members. The entire IWO community welcomed the Keycom Foundation with great enthusiasm, expressing their gratitude and praying for the foundation’s continued success.
