Empowering Women, Environment

Summary of the Situation

The sisters are currently piloting organic farming agriculture and lack the resources to improve the program, so it impacts more people in their mission stations, where there is a need for food and environmental care.

How will the funds be used?

The funds will be used to train local farmers on sustainable farming methods. The sisters will engage skilled experts and practitioners to train and also do mentorship follow-ups to support the farmers in practicing the skills they will have learned. This will help achieve food security objectives, healthier food consumption, and Environmental Justice through improved soil and water management and tree planting.

The Sisters’s Response

The sisters have a demonstration farm where they welcome indigenous farmers to learn organic methods of growing healthy foods. The project proposes to reach out to more farmers with skill training and empowerment, with knowledge of the importance of organic foods. We hope this will eventually help improve the nutrition of the target beneficiaries, the poor people in our mission locations. The practice would reduce diseases and levels of poverty.

Systemic Impact

Enhanced Agricultural Productivity: Training the target farmers in organic farming methods will improve soil health and pest management and increase crop yields. By adopting practices such as crop rotation, composting, and organic pest control, farmers will increase their productivity while maintaining ecological balance. Skill training will foster a sense of community among farmers, and a collective approach will enhance food security and promote sustainable development in the region.
