Hi Global Citizen,



'A winner is a dreamer who never gives up' – Nelson Mandela



These wise words cross my mind often. I am passionate about farming but it
isn’t an easy career choice. High costs of fertilisers, severe weather patterns
and wondering whether I'm going to make any profit on produce are daily worries.



But I have a responsibility to my community and in tough times, great leaders
likeNelson Mandela <[link removed]> inspire me to keep going.



And I do. For the families who rely on me for nourishment. The women farmers
who have minimum resources, restricted decision-making power, and limited time
to make money in the market, yet show up every day, to work hard to make ends
meet.



I dream of a world where these women are in leadership positions, are able to
optimise their farming practices and improve their livelihoods.



Today is Nelson Mandela International Day, and every year on July 18th (his
birthday), citizens around the world are encouraged to dedicate 67 minutes of
their time to helping others – one minute for every year he spent fighting for
justice, equality, and human rights for all.



From donating old clothes to volunteering time at a soup kitchen, there are
endless ways we can give back to our communities.



Today I am spending some of my 67 minutes adding my voice to the "Hungry For
Action" campaign which is demanding action towards ending hunger. And i am
inviting you to join me.Take our Mandela Day Sprint
<[link removed]> and let’s continue the legacy of change.

With Hope,



Wangari and the Global Citizen team
