SATU recently carried out a two-day training for 25 group members to become peer educators in vegetable cultivation. The majority of women with whom SATU works are landless, but the training encouraged women to start vegetable gardens in their homes. Upon seeing the members’ vegetable gardens, female neighbors started vegetable cultivation at their homes and were trained/assisted by one of the 25 group members.
Those who cultivated on a small scale used their vegetables for household consumption and the rest sold to the local market, earning $1.72 to $2.15 income per week. Thirty-five group members took out an individual loan to invest in their income-generating project. They cultivated cauliflower, tomato, bean, pumpkin, bottle guard, cucumber, papaya, radish, etc. Some of them earned $57.36 to $86.03 per harvesting income.
