About us
Nurturing a mindset of resilience
Ira Porter
We start today with Scott Peterson and Shoshanna Solomon reporting, respectively, on Iranians and Israelis living with near-constant warnings of incoming missiles.聽Then, we move to Nigeria, where contributor Ogar Monday shows us a bright picture of women, once destitute, looking for ways to support their families by banding together to purchase land to farm and practice group economics. Their work is inspiring others.
鈥淭he barriers are still here, but the mindset is changing,鈥� says Ngizan Chahul, national president of the Nigerian Association of Women in Agriculture. 鈥淢ore women are beginning to see land as leverage, and a lot more of us are taking ownership.鈥�
