Team – Rural Income Generation
Ministry in South Asia

11/9/23 – Thank you so much for your generous partnership with this life changing project! The target has been revised for 2024 as our local partner NGO has needed to adjust project expenses for local inflation and increased program opportunities. Thank you again for your partnership.
Improving these techniques leads to increased income for families which changes their future and that of their children and generations to come. Meetings are held with community-based organisations who identify participants and the types of programs needed in their area, then those that are able are included in training sessions throughout each year (usually 10-15 people at a time), creating long-term sustainable change.
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 as new information becomes available. Small business management and training has also become a key focus. The team is actively introducing and addressing tangible, practical ways to increase the livelihood of B people and providing them the support, training and means to make these changes. The areas of need have been identified by community groups of B people, in partnership with our partner NGO on the ground so that the team can provide the most effective training possible.
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.
To-date, more than 18,000 B people have been impacted through rural income generation initiatives!
