Victoria Ddundu and Leya Chede

Victoria Ddundu and Leya Chede are poor rural women living in the same drought-prone area of Uganda. Victoria has received no support and is struggling. Leya has joined a grain bank and has transformed her life. This video compares the predicament of the two women and shows how support for small scale farmers can bear stunning results.rnWomen farmers produce 60-80 per cent of the food in most developing countries and are the main producers of the worlds staple crops rice, wheat and maize providing 90 per cent of the food consumed by the rural poor.
