Women in Agriculture for Sustainable Development

In farming, land preparation is very important. Land preparation is the process of clearing and loosening soil to prepare it for growing crops. It's one of the first steps in the crop production cycle. *************************************** Land preparation releases nutrients into the soil, improves water and air movement, and loosens the soil for root growth Reduces weeds and pests. It buries weeds and the remains of previous crops, which helps them break down and decay prevents soil erosion. Land preparation helps ensure good germination of seeds. #WASUDEVempowers #womenfarmers

Indeed women continue to contribute hugely to food security in Liberia. This is Peper and cucumber farm owned by women right here in Monsterrado County. We are very impressed 👏 #wasudevempowers #womenfarmers

These are essential skills needed to improve women's confidence and access to livelihood. These women are resilient and has strong will power to become the very best version of themselves 💪. Many thanks to Madam Victoria Torlon Quoiquoi who gave a motivational message during this program. Our new grad, Macy T.S Wilson T. S. Wilson also encouraged the women to keep pushing.

It is the festive season and it's a big deal in Liberia. Especially Christmas Day! During this time, people cook special and delicious meals, buy new things especially clothes for their kids and themselves to wear on that day. Most times due to financial constraints, parents are unable to do this ritual. But with our Village Saving and Loan Association (VSLA) schemes, our women and their families are able to get new things for the season. ********************************************** This brings us so much joy 😊 ********************************************* What contributions are you making in your communities 🤔 How are you impacting people's lives positively 🤔 ******************************************* These are questions we often ask ourselves as we work towards our organisation's mission and vision.
