Women grow most of Liberia's food; yet they receive a fraction of its training and resources. Help BDI train 30 female farmers in climate-smart agriculture before the next farming season.

Decontee is 38 years old. She farms a plot in Sinoe County, Liberia. She has farmed since she was a girl, using the same land, the same methods, and facing the same unpredictable yields. For years, the farm kept her family alive. Just barely.

Decontee knew there had to be a better way. She just did not have access to it.

Then BDI's climate-smart agribusiness programme came to her community. Six weeks of training. Improved planting techniques. Crop rotation. Soil management. And something she had never been offered before: business planning for farmers.

Last harvest season, Decontee increased her yield by 35%. She harvested surplus. She sold it at the market for the first time in her life. With the income, she opened a savings account and paid her children's school fees without borrowing from anyone.

"I did not need someone to save me," she said. "I needed someone to teach me. That is all any of us need."

Decontee is one of 1,200 farmers BDI has supported. She is not the exception; she is the rule. When a female smallholder farmer in Liberia gets the right training and support, she transforms her household. Studies show women reinvest up to 90% of new income into their families.

$120 funds one full training session. $500 funds a six-month programme. Your investment does not disappear into a farm; it multiplies through a family, a community, and a county.

BDI is raising $30,000 to train 30 more female farmers before December 31, 2026. Every dollar stays in Liberia. Every skill learned feeds a family.
