Westebring• Muller noted that men in African countries may plough fields with cattle but leave the rest of the work to women.

She said she didn't know the total dollar value of aid provided by her association's member groups. although it is in "the hundreds of thousands of dollars." At least 30 developing countries are provided with funds and help, she said.
