Paula grows all kinds of fruit & vegetables in her garden in #CaboVerde: carrots, cabbage, pumpkin, and watermelon. 🥕🥬🎃 🍉

She used to take temporary jobs to supplement her income.

But thanks to support from IFAD, she can now focus on farming full-time.

As the sun rose over the Atlantic this morning, @NOAA’s #GOESEast satellite watched a large plume of #SaharanDust blowing off the coast of Africa towards #CaboVerde Islands and the #CanaryIslands. This dust can blow as far west as North America!

Oct 11, 2024: Low pressure, AL94, near the #CaboVerde Islands, isn't not yet organized, but is producing #gales. It has a 50% chance of becoming a tropical storm within 48 hours. Regardless of formation, E of 40W, strong winds and rough seas are possible this weekend. https://t.co/gi07mWenLn
