Colleen Dyck, a farmer and entrepreneur from Niverville, Manitoba, traveled to western Kenya to live and work alongside small-scale farmer Lucy Anyango.

Walking side by side with Lucy in her daily life in Kenya as a woman, mother, farmer, and community role model felt like a university education all on its own,” Colleen Dyck.

Colleen and Lucy’s experiences were documented in a short film called Common Strength, which explores the important role women play to end hunger in their communities. Watch the trailer below:
