Women on Farms Project

Women on Farms Project A Brief History of WFP: Who are we? The Women on Farms Project (WFP) works with women in commercial agriculture, mainly in the Western Cape Province.

The project grew out of a 1992 Lawyers for Human Rights initiative aimed at meeting the specialised needs of women who live and work on farms (farmwomen). The overall mission of the organisation is to empower and strengthen the capacity of women who live and work on farms to claim their rights and fulfil their needs. WFP is seen as a key role player in the sector and demand for its services and pa

rticipation both from its constituency, farmwomen, and other role players remains high. The 2005 NOVIB-commissioned external evaluation of WFP concluded that:

WFP is a well-known organisation with a strong reputation and is held in high regard by peer organisations in the NGO sector as well as other stakeholders. The organisation is a strongly responsive organisation – well in touch with its external context, making it easily accessible to its target group and to its partners.
