Why we focus on women

Our work ​approach

Gona Mata was born from a recognition of the untapped ​potential within Ghana's agricultural sector and the disparities ​faced by women, particularly those displaced from rural areas to ​urban centres. Witnessing the hardships and resilience of the ​Kayayei women inspired us to create a venture that not only ​addresses immediate needs for employment and income but also ​builds long-term solutions for empowerment and sustainability.

We are a diverse group of professionals with expertise in ​agriculture, technology, and social entrepreneurship with a ​shared vision: to leverage Ghana's rich agricultural heritage as a ​pathway to empowerment for women.

we are ​sustainable

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We ​integrate environmentally friendly farming practices, such ​as crop rotation, organic pest control, and efficient water ​use, to ensure our agricultural methods not only yield high ​returns but also protect and enrich the land.

Our ​Technology

Our Integrated Farming Solutions Platform (IFSP) ​is an innovative technology designed to ​revolutionize agricultural practices by providing ​comprehensive, data-driven farming solutions. ​This platform is a pivotal tool in Gona Mata's ​mission to empower marginalized women and ​communities through sustainable agriculture.

Where we work

Northern & ​Bono regions

At Gona Mata, our commitment to transforming ​agriculture into a catalyst for empowerment and ​sustainability drives us to carefully select regions where ​our interventions can have the most profound impact.

Northern Ghana and the Bono regions stand out as ​areas with rich agricultural potential, yet they are also ​home to communities facing significant challenges, ​including marginalization and economic hardship.
