Fatou Danso is a farmer.... but she is also The Gambia's first female village chief . Fatou has introduced many other firsts to her village. The land here was once only farmed by men. But now Fatou has distributed the land to women - and together they have formed a vegetable garden scheme. Now these women can support their husbands with what they earn from selling their produce.
