Over a quarter of the world\u2019s population are rural women and these women represent approximately 43 percent of the agricultural labor force.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their importance, female farmers own less land than men. They also have limited access to seeds, livestock, supplies and loans to expand their farms.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, these three female farmers discovered FINCA. With access to financial services, such as loans and savings accounts, they are able to grow their farming businesses and secure brighter futures for their families.<\/p>\n<h3>Madina Namanda, Uganda<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/finca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Madina-pineapple.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7412 lazyload img-fluid\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Madina-pineapple\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7412 img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/finca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Madina-pineapple.jpg\" alt=\"Madina-pineapple\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/finca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Madina-pineapple.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/finca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Madina-pineapple-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/finca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Madina-pineapple-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/finca.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Madina-pineapple-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/finca.org\/stories\/sweet-success\">Madina Namanda<\/a> owns and operates a thriving wholesale, commercial pineapple plantation near her home in Kitengeesa, Uganda.
