LWR is working with 500 women farmers in 25 village of rural Bihar State, India, to increase their economic and food security. Using innovative farming practices, LWR is helping them diversify their crops with high yielding vegetables, sell vegetables at local and regional markets for increased income and organize into a vegetable producer association, giving them better access to services and support to sell and grow their crops.

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.

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.
