the reason for all this poverty is because they pray to idol. had they pray to ONE real GOD the life will improve. that is truth and many don't believe the truth.

I enjoy watching this video because I love subsistence agriculture and self-sufficiency. Kudos to these strong women who are determined to provide food for themselves, families and their village. As an inspiration to other women interested in growing food, I have posted this video on my web site at http://www.RuralMoney.net. Thank you Lutheran World Relief.

very nice

It is beautiful to see women get empowered through working together with other women. I truly love agriculture and it makes me happy seeing women being a part of it.
