The purpose of this project is to provide agricultural technical training, sustainable farming, flood response training, flood warning mechanism, and plantation to help train 1000 individuals in Feroza, Rahim Yar Khan. Rahim Yar Khan is a district in southern Punjab where the impacts of climate change are substantially felt. As a consequence of the floods, the increased occurrence of droughts, significant issues of livelihood and food security are prominent. This project will try to solve them.
Feroza is a Union Council in Rahim Yar Khan. With the increasing impact of floods in Pakistan since 2012, with the increasing impact of climate change that has caused a substantial increase in drought, water shortage, food insecurity, and increasing risk of sustainable livelihood, Rahim Yar Khan has been substantially impacted by these changes and is among the worst affected districts in Punjab. The people have to rely on urban centers for their livelihood which results in economic burden.
