change their lives. They produce more than haft of the food. In Africa eighty
percent of all agricultural work is done by women. There are many programs to
help poor countries develop their agriculture. However, for years, these programs
provided money and training for men.

gets up, washes and eats. It takes her a haft hour to walk to the fields, and she
works there until 3:00p.m. She collects firewood and gets home at 4:00. She
spends the next hour and a haft preparing food to cook. Then she collects water
for another hour. From 6:30 to 8:30 she cooks. After dinner, she spends an hour
washing the dishes and her children. She goes to bed at 9:30 p.m.
