AFI REBECCA ELEBLUFARMER FROM ATIKOUTONYI, TOGO
The most fascinating thing about growing cocoa is getting the seeds to germinate.

Afi Rebecca Eleblu lives in Atikoutonyi, right next to the school. "It's very convenient because I have five children. Three of them are in school, and the other two are doing an apprenticeship." Eleblu grows cocoa for gebana on her 3 hectares of land. She also cultivates beans, plantains, ginger and corn. "They're for the local market. I have a passion for trade, and selling my products is what I like most about my job as a farmer. On the other hand, the lack of control over water causes us problems. We are afraid of droughts."
