Programa detallado

For the past decade, our organization has dedicated itself to supporting widow families and its centers through donations; however, we have come to realize that this approach is not sustainable. The sporadic nature of donations often leaves these families in precarious situations, where they may go to bed hungry for days, unable to provide adequate nutrition for their children. Recognizing this urgent need for a more reliable solution, we have initiated the Community Nutrition & Food Security Program, which focuses on empowering widow families and Torah centers through agricultural engagement and training. By procuring 30 acres of virgin land, we aim to establish a sustainable agricultural program that not only enhances food security but also fosters economic independence for these families of five members, are actively involved in this initiative.

The primary objectives of the Community Nutrition & Food Security-program are to create fight food insecurity, to create a consistent income-generating opportunity for widows throughout the year, reduce their dependency on donor support, build their capacity to cultivate both cash and food crops each season, and equip community members with the necessary skills to sustain this agricultural endeavor. However, we face several challenges that hinder the successful implementation of this project. These include a lack of skills and professionalism, a lack of funds to lease the land, insufficient traction units for plowing and clearing, a scarcity of improved hybrid seeds, inadequate transportation for delivering seeds to the farm, limited manpower for facilitating agricultural activities, a shortage of fertilizers, and a lack of proper storage facilities, such as silos, for post-harvest maize and beans.
