A female councillor in rural Gambia has called for greater support to enhance women’s gardening projects in her community.
Highlighting the essential role of women in local agriculture, she emphasized that gardens not only provide food security but also contribute to family incomes and community resilience.
The councillor urged government bodies, non-governmental organizations, and local leaders to invest in resources such as seeds, tools, water systems, and training programs. She also stressed the importance of addressing challenges like climate change and limited access to markets, which often hinder the success of these initiatives.
Through increased support, she envisions empowering women to achieve sustainable livelihoods and stronger community bonds. The appeal serves as a reminder of the transformative potential of investing in women-led agricultural activities in rural Gambia.
