Invest in Tonglewein: Seed Smallholder Progress in Rural Liberia
Roots Africa partners directly with youth-led pods and farming families in Nimba to accelerate resilience and self-sufficiency.
"Our collective strength is our hope—together we turn effort into impact."
Lack of Structure Blocks Potential
Tonglewein’s farmers face persistent income volatility and no formal cooperative or reliable storage. Frequent road and weather disruptions leave entire harvests unsold. Collective action remains new, but change is underway.
