Summary
Help increase opportunities for incomes after the earthquake by investing in local economies. Launch a community-run microcredit fund, invest in local agriculture and support grain mill projects. This can help whole communities move toward self-sufficiency after the earthquake.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Rebuilding sustainable projects like grain and sugar cane mills will be essential for jumpstarting communities’ economies. These local enterprises play a critical role in sources of income for peasants. Damaged grain mills and irrigation canals need to be rebuilt in order for locals to earn incomes.
How will this project solve this problem?
Help communities rebuild their community run enterprises which will allow members to harvest, mill, store, and sell their crops at the market.
Potential Long Term Impact
Strengthen rural communities’ capacities for local enterprises and increase self-sufficiency.
Project Message
"Rebuilding sustainable projects like damaged mills are an immediate concern vital to rural economies.”
