Members are taught basic computer skills and internet surfing skills and encouraged to surf the net for information on agriculture and health.

Additional Information Taking into cognizance the situation of things in Nigeria, the group though informal but now more enlightened seeks to make an impact through exposure internationally and also attract funding from international organizations most especially as every often the group members are often left behind when fertilizers are allocated hence have to buy paying so much for very little. The sad reason being that we are women with no money.
