🌾🐄 Meet the Hero of Rural Resilience! 🐄🌾 Inspired by the global Barbie trend, we reimagined a powerful story from our own community — turning a real image of a rural woman into a stylized, AI-generated Rural Woman Farmer Doll. She’s dressed in vibrant traditional attire, holding tools of her trade — a milk can, a cow, and feed. But more than that, she carries the spirit of resilience, dignity, and leadership that real women farmers in Bangladesh embody every day. 🌿👩🌾💚 #HeiferBangladesh #WomenInAgriculture #Empowerment #RuralHeroes #DignityThroughLivelihoods #FarmerDoll #InnovationWithPurpose

In climate-vulnerable southwest #Bangladesh, where rising seas and erratic rains threaten crops and livelihoods, Mosammat Laboni Khatun is growing sustainable solutions. Facing poor soil, chemical-heavy farming and limited freedom as a young woman, she joined the Bijoy Nagar Nari Unnayan Women Cooperative. She reshaped her one-third acre land into a model for climate-smart agriculture. Through the co-op, she received training on safe vegetable production, financial management and cooperative leadership, along with a loan for climate-resilient seeds and connections to buyers. Increasing her income by more than 50 percent, she now teaches others to farm without chemicals. “If everyone farms this way and everyone’s income increases, we all can live better, and in this way, our environment is also helped,” she said. 🔗 Read her story: https://bit.ly/4cw40Cs. #ClimateAction #WomenInAg #Coops4Dev #SustainableFarming #EarthDay2025 Heifer International Bangladesh Heifer International Nurun Nahar
