Program Summary
This program builds upon the successful work of World Renew and local partner SATHI on nutrition focused agriculture in the neighboring subdistrict of Kendua. Women’s and men’s savings groups are being established and a few members of each group are being trained as model farmers. They learn environmentally friendly agriculture methods which they model and share with others in their community. All of the local savings groups come together to form a People’s Institution that is a long term presence in the community. The People’s Insitution advocates for the community and helps people work together to address community challenges and provides an ongoing training and learning resource long after the program is complete.
