Programs

  • Livelihoods Programme

    It focuses on bolstering community-based organisations and establishing new local institutions to foster social mobilization, particularly targeting marginalized groups neglected by government livelihood initiatives, including farmers, women, individuals with disabilities, and local artisans. Activities encompass sustainable agriculture, natural resource management, and enhancing farmers' income by adding value to their produce. An upcoming priority involves researching modern cultivation methods to equip the agrarian community for future climate challenges.
