Help improve sustainable income generation for families.
However, it's getting more difficult to be a farmer these days.
ChildFund is helping families by offering training in new farming techniques, distribution of alternate seeds and livestock, as well as business skills and new markets opportunities.
Your donations are helping rural farmers in our dedicated communities learn about new techniques and alternative farming crops.
One of the best ways to boost household income is through the provision of livestock, like sheep, goats, chickens, and cows. Your donations help provide families with livestock and training on how to sustainably produce eggs and milk.
In some of the communities where ChildFund works, access to water is an issue that leaves many crops unable to thrive. Your donations allow us to build irrigation systems in our communities to keep crops growing well.
In rural communities, access to loans for new businesses and other expenses can be quite a challenge. Your donations allow ChildFund to establish Savings and Loans programmes, empowering community members to save.
Sometimes, new business opportunities are right in front of your eyes, but you just don't know it. Your donations help us identify new business opportunities for community members, and train them on how to access new, profitable markets.
One of the most challenging parts about starting a new business is accessing capital to purchase inventory and get the word out. Your donations help us provide small-scale loans for community members who are ready to start a new business.
Improving livelihoods is crucial for empowering a community to achieve self-sufficiency. Your support enables families and communities to engage in income-generating projects and training programs, providing them with the opportunity to secure a brighter future for their children and communities.
As the climate has such a large impact on livestock, agriculture plans are in place to improve the irrigation for crops and training for improved farming techniques. Diversifying income sources is also taught through business training for selling handmade products.
Agriculture is the main source of income for families in Zambia. To help overcome hunger and poverty there is a focus on training and education to help create sustainable agricultural livelihoods.
Food security and income is a challenge for communities in Vietnam. By distributing livestock and improving farming systems, families can not only provide for themselves and children but also make a living by selling their produce.
Many families in our dedicated communities are dependent on agriculture as the main source of income.
Your support helps ChildFund offer training in new farming techniques, distribution of alternate seeds and livestock, as well as business skills and new markets opportunities.
