WECMA cultivates medicinal plants and transform them in to teas for societal consumption. Some medicinal plants are sold fresh for consumption, some sold for community members to plant in their gardens and others sold in pots ready for consumption as they grow. We have carried out trainings community members on how to grow and use medicinal plants to improve health and fitness.
The following medicinal plants are being promoted: artemisia annua, lemon grass, ginseng, turmeric, mint, ginger, garlic and cinnamon. Over 200 women have been trained on agroforestry and plastic recycling for urban gardening techniques. This is because medicinal plants can be grown together with other crops in an agroforestry system. This increases women income and guarantee food security. Our medicinal herbs are marketed locally.
