It is business unusual at the manyattas in Looro sub-county of Amudate district in Uganda’s Karamoja region. The women tend their crops of tomatoes, maize and groundnuts.
This is a new practice in this area, as residents, the Karimojong, are pastoralists. But the women of Looro have taken up farming to feed their families. They have also formed a 30-member group, Nakimiliam Women’s Group, under which they farm and do business.
