Invest in Neingben: Lifting 62 Families Toward Food Security
Empowering farmers in rural Liberia with student-led demos, financial skills, and partnership building.
"Even the poorest soil will bloom when farmers have knowledge and hope."
Survival—But Not Yet Security
Neingben’s families average 9–10 people per household. Most have lived through civil war, market collapse, and multiple poor harvests. Lack of storage, finance, and market training means subsistence is fragile and progress slow.
Farming, Training, and Demonstration

"Change comes not with handouts, but hands-on effort."
Roots Africa’s changemaker pod, led by Edward S. Miaway Sr., has built Neingben’s first demo garden, trained dozens of farmers in financial literacy and farming-as-a-business, and spurred local demand for producer savings groups.
