Women for Women Success

Women for Women skill based training has expanded beyond making items such as jewelry and basket weaving to agriculture.  

We traveled outside the city to visit a group of women who were trained by Women for Women International to form an agricultural cooperative.  They started by establishing an organizational structure including a president, vice president and treasurer and renting a small piece of land.  

The young woman representing the cooperative in the video is the president.  She eloquently explained how this group of women are working together to execute on short and long term plans.   It was amazing to hear how much they accomplished in six months and the definitive plans for the future!

Cindy - Thanks for keeping us updated! Wow - how inspiring - it keeps eveything in perspective here dealing with the little things that come up every day. I just got back from Dolce and we are getting ready for the product roll out later this week. It went great but it got me thinking about you and glad I checked in to see what you are up to - please keep us updated!
God Bless Maureen
