Agile International's MISSION is to empower rural women while returning Mali and West Africa to food security. AGILE International has purchased an initial 35 acres of land and made it available to women in Mali to farm it. Our unique model allows women to use their skills to produce farm goods and other materials to sell and generate income. Currently, we are farming only 12 acres of our 35-acre plot, because so much labor must go toward gathering water during the workday. Therefore, AGILE's most important next step is to develop a drip irrigation system that involves drilling a 263-foot deep hole and installing a water pump and irrigation lines throughout the field. This ambitious project is estimated to cost approximately $50,000. To help fund this irrigation project, we expanded our program to include designing, producing and selling unique African purses. We need your help to make this happen, please join us today!
