Chantal lives in Rwanda with her husband and three kids and has received support from the Ripple Effect community.

She is now growing a greater variety of foods, providing a balanced diet to her family, and selling the rest to her local community. She also enjoys sharing her knowledge with other farmers, creating her own ripple effect.

"My neighbours keep coming to learn from me, and it is good, because this is how we support each other to develop."

"There's a lot to be thankful for...my children are fed, and healthy. I feel so happy and grateful"
