Morocco's Female Landowners Give Ivanka Trump a Warm Welcome

Associated Press

   SIDI KACEM, Morocco - Ivanka Trump says families, communities and
   countries flourish when women are invested in and included in the
   economy.
   President Donald Trump's daughter and White House adviser saw real life
   examples in Morocco on Thursday when she met four women who are
   benefiting from changes that allow them to own land.
   Ivanka Trump spearheads a U.S. drive to help women in developing
   countries with skills training, access to capital and land ownership.
   One of the women, Aicha Bourkib, embraced Ivanka Trump and kissed her
   hands as the group met in an olive grove. The 59-year-old housewife and
   mother of four cultivates olive trees and vegetables on land she
   recently bought.
   Bourkib also has two cows and wants to create a dairy cooperative in
   her village.
