Start by sealing all possible entry points using wire mesh, cement, or other strong materials to keep rodents away from your grains.
A little prevention can save you significant losses!

Dear Fresher, this is your story to write
The bazaar is a small picture of the world you have entered. From now on, people will compete for your money, attention, time and loyalty. The pressure will rarely look like pressure. It may come as friendship, romance, easy money or an invitation to belong...✍️@BarbaraKaija

Uganda’s next national investment: The infrastructure we cannot ignore
But perhaps the country’s most important infrastructure will never appear in a national budget or on a construction site. It will be found in the character of the young women and men who inherit everything else.✍️@BarbaraKaija

“I would like to appreciate our partners who have been with us all this long. We really appreciate all the sponsors. Ugandans love weddings. I usually say that everything is weddings. I think our culture really revolves around weddings. People will not give you money for school fees, but they will give you money for a wedding. I think we love weddings."

If creative workplaces were inherently unsafe for women, the numbers would tell the same story everywhere.
They don’t.
Our research found that reported workplace safety ranges from 59.2% to 88.8% across countries, highlighting how workplace environments shape women’s experiences.
This variation shows that safety is not fixed—it is influenced by policies, practices, leadership, and culture. Where the right conditions exist, women are more likely to feel safe, supported, and able to thrive.
The gap is a reminder that workplace safety can be improved. The question is: what can we learn from environments where women report feeling safest?
