The Deaf Girls Camp 2024 took hands-on learning to the next level with an immersive visit to the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Farm, where participants gained practical skills in nursery bed management and greenhouse agriculture.

The girls explored every step of early-stage plant cultivation, from soil preparation to transplanting seedlings, valuable knowledge for personal sustainability and future entrepreneurship. For many, this was their first direct experience with structured farming systems, and the excitement was tangible.

Agricultural training may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of youth leadership camps, but for Deaf Girls Rescue, empowerment means equipping girls with real-life, applicable skills. In a country where agriculture is the backbone of the economy, especially in rural communities, teaching deaf girls how to grow food is teaching them how to thrive independently.

This visit underscored the broader mission of the Deaf Girls Camp: to nurture confident, self-reliant leaders who are not only literate and informed but also capable of transforming their communities, one seedling at a time.
