We Will Persist!
Working together as a community enables Gbessebu to overcome significant challenges.
Despite challenges due to the lack of adequate tools, suitable drinking water, or proper educational facilities, the people of Gbessebu persist. Inspired by Transformational Community Development (TCD) lessons, they have taken the initiative to prepare a plot of land by clearing it of bushes and weeds in order to begin the farming of cassava and groundnuts. The endeavor has given the people a greater sense of togetherness as they work relentlessly to champion food production in line with the TCD objectives of sustainable development.
Thank you!
