Summary

Imagine a future where communities are self-sufficient, nourished, and environmentally sustainable.

Challenge

Fifty-three percent of women in this rural Colombian community are unpaid domestic workers. Limited economic opportunities, due to lack of formal employment in the region, constrain their livelihoods. This project will empower 12 women by reducing their financial dependence and enhancing their decision-making abilities.

Solution

Projectar Sin Fronteras has already provided the materials to construct a greenhouse that will be managed by the community of women and their families. This greenhouse will produce seedlings to stablish five edible forest plots. We will also provide materials and tools to enclose these plots, along with a series of permaculture workshops to empower families to manage their forests independently. Beyond the social impact, this project will contribute to protect local biodiversity.

Long-Term Impact

These edible forests will provide long-term food security for the families of 12 rural women. By cultivating a diverse range of fruits and vegetables using permaculture principles, these women will strengthen community bonds, improve food security, and empower themselves. Once their basic food needs are met, excess produce can be sold, generating additional income and creating value chains. These women have now formed an association called ASOMCA.
