"Fortunately, organizations such as the World Food Program (WFP) and Care are joining forces to create all-women-managed cereal banks in villages throughout the Sahel that not only help protect against seasonal famine, but also empower women as agents of food security in their communities...Cereal banks are community-led grain distribution projects that store grain after harvests and then loan grain when food is scarce during what is known as the 'lean season.'"
