The Philippines - Mindanao - Watering strawberries on communal land

72 year old Lilia Malinao runs the local Women's farmer group in Sitio Matinao, Alamada, Cotabato province, Mindanao Island, The Philippines. She is also President of ‘Women’s Rural Improvement Group’ and has been involved in Oxfam’s BINDS project for 1 year and 8 months. 
Women in the group make use of a small piece of land which they use to grow new vegetables and crops before trying them at home in their own gardens. 
The women are currently growing their first strawberry crop which so far has been a success. 
All profits from the sale of the vegetables and fruits grown on the land goes back into a communal pot and is used to initiate the next crop.
