Tshehay Imama of Ethiopia is the leader of a women's cooperative that owns farmland and animals. Together they create new income that they spend on schooling for their children, medicines, and improving the farm. Tshehay used to have to buy all of her family's food from the market. Her chin lifts as she says, "We provide everything for ourselves now".

In Ghana, Salamatu Moru and her husband are part of a group of farmers that share a plot of land. Today Salamatu and the other women are picking through each harvested tomato, separating out the best ones to be put on sale at the local market. The rest are eaten by the farmers’ families which give them great nutrients and diversifies their diet.

When asked what they were doing during the dry season last year, Salamatu’s husband Bameiko said, "We were not doing anything. We were under this tree, just worrying." They worried about their future, about how they were going to pay their children's school fees, medical expenses and enough food to eat when there wasn't enough rain to grow good crops. With the new income they can plan for the future.

Now when Salamatu and her husband sit under the tree, they are not worrying, they are dreaming.
