Last month, with your support MADRE’s partners at Wangki Tangni organized a farmers market for Indigenous women farmers to sell their surplus produce. Eighty women farmers attended the fair, 60 from the community of Kisalaya and 20 from other communities along the Coco River.
The farmers markets offer a vital source of income for these women and their families. With the money the women farmers earn from selling their produce, they can buy necessities for their children, like shoes, clothes and school books. For example, last year, Albertina, a woman from Kisalaya earned enough money through the MADRE-supported farmers markets that she is now sending her children to school! Thank you for making this possible!
Here are a few photos from the April farmers market.
