Food for families and income to sustain community projects: that’s what women are growing in Tanzania with Bukoba Women’s Empowerment Association (BUWEA) and Women’s Earth Alliance.⁠
⁠
That shared vision takes root at the BUWEA farm in Kyaitoke–Izimbya, where maize and beans grow alongside coffee trees. Pictured here, WEA Leader Revina shares the knowledge that carries these crops from planting through harvest and storage, demonstrating how intercropping makes productive use of the same land.⁠
⁠
Earlier this summer, the farm had already yielded 4,800 kilograms of maize and 568 kilograms of beans. For the women tending it, the promise of this harvest extends from their homes into the wider community. Alongside their priority of growing enough food for their families, they plan to use income from crop sales to cover operating costs and help fund other association projects.⁠
⁠
Through our partnership, we’re supporting women to turn their agricultural knowledge into a lasting resource for the work they lead. As they cultivate the farm, they are also building the means to sustain it and invest in their community’s priorities.⁠

A plant can mark the season, become a thread, or hold a place in the daily rituals of a home. Learning to know it takes time, attention, and a relationship with the place it grows.⁠
⁠
Across generations, women have carried this knowledge through gathering, growing, preparing, and tending plants, sharing what they learn through everyday work and care. These relationships sustain food, healing, livelihoods, and cultural traditions, while giving people a deeper understanding of the ecosystems they call home.⁠
⁠
Reciprocity lives within these relationships: receiving from the Earth brings a responsibility to care for it in return. Keeping them alive means tending plants and their habitats, respecting the communities this knowledge comes from, and supporting women to continue practicing and sharing it.⁠
⁠

Equal access to land and resources for women farmers could help millions of people move out of hunger.⁠
⁠
A report by FAO estimated that, in the countries covered by its analysis, giving women equal access to tools, seeds, land, and credit could increase yields on their farms by 20–30%. That increase in food production could reduce the number of undernourished people worldwide by 12–17%, lifting 100–150 million people out of hunger.⁠
⁠
This week, as we mark the International Day of Rural Women and World Food Day, we join in recognizing women’s contributions to the food we eat and the land we depend on.⁠
⁠
Women’s Earth Alliance calls on governments and funders to invest in women cultivating local solutions that nourish families and protect ecosystems. That support must include secure land rights and a meaningful role in the decisions that shape food systems.⁠

A river is getting cleaner. Girls are securing legal protections for water. Women farmers are finding ways to protect their crops while living alongside wildlife. These are some of the stories that gave us hope this month.⁠
⁠
There is so much hurt in the world, and many families are navigating loss and uncertainty. Sharing good news gives us a chance to recognize the people caring for their communities and the Earth, and to learn from what they are doing.⁠
⁠
We know how much patient work sits behind these stories. Local knowledge, years of organizing, and sustained support help turn ideas into changes people can see in the places they call home.⁠

Who can find shade, take a break, or reach medical care when temperatures rise? The answers reveal how social, economic, cultural, and environmental conditions shape our ability to stay safe.⁠
⁠
Vanderbilt University’s report, Beyond Temperature, calls for heat responses grounded in those conditions and the knowledge communities hold about their own needs.⁠
⁠
For Women’s Earth Alliance, this connects directly to grassroots women’s environmental leadership. Women working on water access, food systems, land stewardship, and community health bring expertise that can help guide how resources are invested and how responses reach families.⁠
⁠
Building resilience to extreme heat means giving that leadership a meaningful role in decisions, with funding to put locally developed solutions into practice.⁠
⁠
What would make the biggest difference in helping your community stay safe during extreme heat?⁠

This , we express our heartfelt gratitude to the partners, colleagues, Knowledge Keepers, and leaders who are illuminating a path of healing and rematriation for our communities.⁠
⁠
We stand in reverence of the generations of Indigenous ancestors whose wisdom is helping to guide us toward a safe, healthy and just future, and we honor the Indigenous leaders today who are continuing this transformational work.⁠
⁠
Today, and every day, we are deeply thankful to be part of a global alliance that honors and actively supports the leadership of grassroots Indigenous women who are safeguarding our Earth. It is a privilege to walk this journey alongside you.

“Mother Earth.” It’s a familiar phrase. But what does that language reveal about our relationship with the living world?⁠
⁠
Ideas about soil, fertility, nourishment, and care have long been intertwined. Exploring those connections also means recognizing the knowledge women develop through working with land, tending crops, saving seeds, and passing practices between generations.⁠
⁠
At Women’s Earth Alliance, recognizing and resourcing that expertise is central to our work. How we understand our relationship with the Earth shapes whose knowledge we value and how we care for the places that sustain us.⁠

“If you hold capital, move closer to the women doing this work.”

Former Irish President and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson’s words at Project Dandelion’s “Health is the Headline” named the work ahead: bringing resources, decision-making power, and recognition closer to grassroots women leaders.

Last week, the Women’s Earth Alliance delegation joined conversations across Climate Week NYC about health, storytelling, forests, food, finance, and environmental justice. We deepened longtime relationships, formed new ones, and brought perspectives from across our Alliance. These are a few moments from a much fuller week.

During WEDO’s “From Extraction to Care,” WEA Program Director Dr. Annesha Chowdhury and Project Dandelion Executive Director Ronda Carnegie discussed how grassroots women-led organizations can help shape policy, funding, and the Gender Action Plan emerging from Belém.

At the Frontline Resource Institute Climate Justice Hub, WEA Leader Lil Milagro Henriquez spoke about communities’ power to tell their own stories, protect their data, and decide how their knowledge is shared.

At The Nature Hub, hosted by Nature4Climate, and gatherings led by Food Tank, conversations connected forests, regenerative agriculture, and food systems with healthier land, stronger livelihoods, nourishing food, and resources reaching the people caring for them.

We also joined 1% for the Planet for a first look at Stories of Impact. The series will feature partnerships creating change around the world, including the longstanding partnership between WEA and Natracare and the locally rooted solutions WEA Leaders are advancing with their communities.

Together, these moments reflect a principle that has long guided WEA’s work: grassroots women leaders should be able to shape decisions, direct resources, and decide how their stories and knowledge are shared. Climate Week matters when that leadership is reflected in budgets, policies, and long-term partnerships that sustain community-led solutions.

We would love to hear what meaningful participation looks like in your work.

Floods, fires, and severe storms are arriving in quick succession. It’s hard to look at what communities are experiencing and deny the urgency of a changing climate.⁠
⁠
For Women’s Earth Alliance Co-Executive Director Kahea Pacheco, who lives on Hawaiʻi Island, this is especially close to home. Families are still recovering from Hurricane Lala in August, and now they are preparing for another possible storm.⁠
⁠
Across our Alliance, urgent requests are coming from people we have worked alongside for years. Those relationships mean we can listen to what is needed now, move flexible funding quickly, and stay connected as recovery continues.⁠
⁠
Thank you to everyone who gave to our August emergency appeal. If you can help sustain this response and the work of building resilience, please donate through the link in our bio.⁠

Sound on 🔊🌿⁠
⁠
What does a healthy forest sound like? Listen to the calls, the hum, the rustle. So many lives sharing one place.⁠
⁠
A forest’s soundscape can offer clues about the life within it. When those sounds grow quieter or less varied, it can be a sign that the ecosystem is under stress.⁠
⁠
For the women caring for forests in their communities, protecting biodiversity means tending to these living relationships, often across generations.⁠
⁠
Stay here for a moment. Let the forest give your nervous system a little reset. What do you hear first?⁠
