As we have launched the 'She Has a Story to Tell, Are You Listening?—our global #FlagshipCampaign in Asia today, marking the #InternationalYearofWomenFarmers 2026—we are proud to share a special message from Surita Sandosham, President & CEO, Heifer International.

During her recent visit to #Bihar, #India, Surita met Preeti, a young #CommunityAgrovet who has emerged as a successful #Agripreneur. Her journey is a powerful reminder that when women farmers are given the right support, they don’t just participate—they lead, innovate, and transform their communities.

At the heart of Surita’s message is a simple but urgent call: listen to women farmers.

Because when we listen, we begin to see them not as passive participants—but as leaders, entrepreneurs, and co-creators of solutions.

From strengthening agri #FoodSystems to building resilient livelihoods and unlocking opportunities through partnerships, the future of agriculture depends on centering the voices of women.

To hear more about the inspiring journeys of women farmers supported by Heifer, watch the full message.
