Planting Seeds, Farmers Markets & Girls' Education

By MADRE | MADRE

With your support, MADRE and our partner Wangki Tangni run Harvesting Hope, a collective of Indigenous women farmers growing the food their families need to survive on the remote, North Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua. Your support helps provide the seeds that the women farmers need to plant successful harvests. They prepare the land in fall and plant seeds over the winter. These crops enable women to feed their families when no other food sources are available. Additionally, they sell their surplus harvests at MADRE-supported farmers markets in both early and late spring. With the extra money they earn there, many of the women are able to send their daughters to school and invest in their families' futures. Thank you for making this life-sustaining program possible!
