Answers
AO’s Agriculture and Livelihood program has been forming farmer support groups since the beginning of 2015. These groups provide training on sustainable and effective farming methods. Since January 2015, 32 beneficiaries have formed two farmer support groups, where farmers share access to new agricultural techniques and training to produce a better yield.
Majority of the farmers participating in the training program have noted positive results, which in the long term will provide better incomes for them and their families. In addition to learning farming techniques, the program emphasizes ways to reduce expenses, increase profits and producing marketing strategies to further increase profitability.
It’s about food security and the dignity of the ability to provide an income and support families! This affects all levels of a community. People don’t sell their children to child labour and prostitution when they have enough resources to feed, clothe and educate their kids. We believe it’s easier to teach, train and support a family before the damage is done. Lives truly are at risk—we’ve seen it firsthand.
