🌱Stellia Tamandani Banda, a WMI Graduate Scholar and Community Development Grant awardee, is the visionary behind Farmers Shield Agro Dealers, a grassroots agricultural initiative rooted in Katawa Village, Kalemeka, Chilowamatambe (Kasungu, Malawi).

With the support of the WMI seed grant awarded in July 2024, Stellia has mobilized her knowledge and leadership to uplift her community. The project has already created opportunities for 14 individuals, including family members and casual laborers, contributing to improved livelihoods and local food security.

As one community member shared: “Working on the farm has helped me support my family. Even though the rains were late, we stayed hopeful because this project means a lot to our village.”🛖

Stellia mentioned that the first maize harvest is expected this Spring, and a portion of the yield will be set aside for reinvestment, ensuring the farm continues to grow and serve the community for years to come.

Just like Stellia, WMI Scholars are leading innovative, community-driven change across the globe, addressing local challenges with creativity, resilience, and purpose.
