HELINA ASARE
FARMER FROM NSUTA WAWASE, GHANA
At my age, it's difficult to run a farm.
"I'm a widow and have 4 sons, 4 daughters and 31 grandchildren. Our main income comes from farming and trade," says Helina Asare. Besides cocoa beans, Helina and her family grow cassava, plantains, bananas and maize. They also keep a few goats. "I can live off the sale of my products. But I must say that it's a tremendous amount of work running a farm, especially at my age. I don't have enough money to support my whole family, especially my grandchildren. I hope that one day things will get better."
