Specialist sesame seeds will change Leonila's life
Many of Tanzania's sesame farmers don't have access to the high-quality seeds they need to almost double their crop sizes. They also struggle to get a good price for their produce locally. So we're working with groups like Leonila's to establish community seed farms and marketing cooperatives so they can grow more, sell it for a higher price and pay for food, schooling and medicines.
