Project Report | Feb 3, 2011
Supporting Women Strengthens Entire Communities

By Gillian Wilson | Project Leader

With your help, APROSADSE’s programs in organic composting, farming, and livestock rearing has increased the self-sufficiency of women within their communities. Education in nutrition and sustainable production techniques has helped communities to grow healthier crops and animals, resulting in increased production. The women who are integral to their farms are reaping the benefits, no longer dependent on their husband’s livelihood alone. They are now able to claim their own business and farm income.

With sustainable income from their farms and businesses, women are not only able to save money but also to send their children to school and support their families. The ability to provide for their families strengthens the whole community and the women working with APROSADSE are leaders in their communities, helping to empower others to organize community health projects like planting fruit trees and gardens.

Your donations make this possible. Thank you!
