Past Activities and Innovations

.

Aton Wellness is a social enterprise working

with over 10,000 (70% are youths) rural farmers in Northern Uganda through creative collaborations with for-profit and not-for-profit partners. We work with 10 prominent farmer associations/cooperatives in Northern Uganda. Aton Wellness employs business model to solve some of the greatest puzzles humanity is facing; poverty and hunger.

We believe every rural farmer is a business person capable of causing tremendous impact when equipped with relevant knowledge and skills to rise and excel in farming as a business.

Upon his graduation from Makerere University in 2016, Tonny Abet at 24 years of age concieved Aton Wellness. Tonny was that bright boy from a very poor family who drew the attention of a local charity organization, Lango Development Forum, the organization that paid him in his studies. With his live experience being supported by local people, Tonny was convinced Africa has a great potential which when well coordinated can yield unmatched global impact. And the rural farmers were at the center stage to him.
