Training Leads to Better Harvests and Incomes

By Gillian Wilson | Project Leader

Starting October 12, GlobalGiving will be matching donations for this project! Donate and maximize your impact!

Thanks to your support, APROSADSE’s agroecology program in Guatemala is meeting close to

100% of its objectives. Community members were trained in agroecology, livestock

rearing, and small business management. These training programs provided families

with better harvesting and income-generating techniques.

 

In 9 rural communities, 1,038 pigs, chicken and cattle underwent two days of veterinary

care. By decreasing disease outbreaks, families can increase their production potential

and support their families.

 

Microcredit loans helped women establish their own businesses. Women who

previously depended on their husbands for money now speak of their own savings, the

responsibilities of having their own businesses or farms, and the lessons learned from

improving production.

 

We need your continued support! By donating to APROSADSE you are ensuring more

families can benefit from this program.

 

Thank you for your support.
