Yassah Ford is the brain behind Yassah’s Sisters Livelihood Program that is working with single mothers in Zuwulo Town, Lofa County. The women are involved in a “pay-it-forward program” which contributes a machete, hoe, axe, bags of peanuts, rice, beans, corn and okra seeds for planting to each women. During harvest time, every woman is responsible to give a bag of seeds or two to the next woman who did not receive an initial consignment of supplies and working tools.
Yassah’s Sisters was formed by a group of Lafayette women in collaboration with Change Agent Network to provide the women of rural Liberia/Lofa County with the tools to becoming self-sufficient.
