Impact of WFWPI’s Leadership Training and Permaculture Education in Latin America

Grounded leadership happens.

Andrea M. Fayad Betancourt, Secretary General of WFWP Latin America and the Caribbean, attributes WFWPI's Activate 2022 Leadership and Project Management Training for her personal growth and leadership transformation. Ms. Fayad was one of the 10 trainees who participated in an intensive three-month leadership workshop organized by UN Offices Relations director Merly Barlaan. This led to Fayad's visioning and implementing permaculture regenerative farming in Colombia.

"I think I couldn't do all the things that I've done or achieved with these beautiful women in Colombia without that training... The permaculture training blew my mind," said Fayad.

WFWP Colombia is also focused on peace education and organizational capacity building in the communities.
