Before SHIFSD's training, my rice yield could barely feed my family. After learning conservation techniques on the demo farm, I harvested twice as much last season and sold the surplus to pay school fees.

Stories of Change
Behind every number is a person. These are a few of the Liberians whose lives have shifted through SHIFSD's programs.
I was 42 when I learned to read my own name. Now I keep the records for our savings group and help my grandchildren with their homework. SHIFSD gave me a second beginning.

Our village savings group started with 15 members and $200. Two years later we're 42 members and have loaned out over $6,000 to small businesses. No one had to leave town to find capital.
