How One Woman is Transforming Communities

How One Woman is Transforming Communities

The United Nations has designated 2026 as the “Year of the Woman Farmer,” and Heifer Cambodia is proud to spotlight the voices, stories, and experiences of women driving change in their communities. These real stories are making a real impact—demonstrating resilience, leadership, and the power of collective action. Meet Heng El, a local trainer from Roneam Samaky Cooperative, whose work is helping transform lives at the grassroots level. Supporting communities across community, she trains self-help groups in group management, financial record-keeping, and the foundational 12 Cornerstones for sustainable development. Through her dedication, women and community members are building stronger groups, improving their livelihoods, and becoming more confident leaders. Heng El’s story is a powerful example of how investing in women farmers creates ripple effects—strengthening families, cooperatives, and entire communities. #YearOfTheWomanFarmer #WomenFarmers #ChangingLives #HeiferInternational #EmpowerWomen #SheHasAStoryToTell #AreYouListening #Campaign
