Rural Income Generation

Improving farming and livestock techniques leads to increased income for families, which changes their future and that of their children and generations to come. Community-based organisations identify participants and the types of programs needed in their area. Training sessions are conducted with 10-15 people at a time, and ongoing support is provided as the participants improve their practices.

Finding practical, manageable and sustainable ways to improve livestock and food production for consumption and sale is one critical way our team is seeing the lives of B people continue to be equipped and empowered. The focus continues to be on cattle, fish and vegetable production with ever improving practices. Small business management and training has also become a key focus. Education sessions include topics such as animal nutrition, raising fish hatchlings, higher yield crop vegetables, kitchen gardens, composting, plant nutrition and small enterprise development.

With community involvement and focused training, this project provides increased technical knowledge and skills for local people in their areas of need as well as increased staff capacity building for facilitating training and monitoring.

The project target reflects the project’s annual budget.

To-date, more than 18,000 B people have been impacted through rural income generation initiatives! This tried, tested and trusted team of local staff are making a real difference in peoples’ lives.
