Marieh Wea
Marieh Wea is a dedicated widow and mother of six from Topoe Village, Liberia, who spends her days extracting and molding clay to produce 'putter,' an edible clay that serves as a local food staple, particularly among pregnant women. Over the past two decades, she has faced numerous challenges, including rising costs and health issues caused by the labor-intensive production process.
