Seeds & Stories

  • Margarida Vasconcelos

Seeds & Stories is a women-led social enterprise in Bigodi, Uganda. Our mission is to empower rural women through circular fashion and capacity building programs. We contribute to regenerative community development, gender equality, and environmental regeneration through nature-based solutions. We aim to empower rural communities to be more resilient and self-reliant, healthy and equitable by providing them with the necessary skills, resources and facilitation.

Seeds and Stories is currently focused on developing quality hand-made soil to soil products that support the livelihoods of women artisans in Bigodi, as well as new training programs that provide skills and environmental knowledge to the broader community. We have been busy implementing a circular business model and regenerative approach, which allows us to provide more socio-economic opportunities and diversified sources of income to our artisan partners.

Our long term objectives are to provide sustainable livelihoods for local women, create greater food security, advance gender equality, and promote environmental regeneration. Our programmes emerge from and are tailored to the needs of local people and the broader community. We focus on empowering local people to be part of the solution to the issues they are facing and lead their own social and economic development.
