Our Sustainable Food Program is a scalable, dual-focus program which offers a hen-keeping component and an organic gardening component, based on the decolonization model.
It provides greater food security in impoverished areas; enables elders in remote areas and elder care homes to be more self-reliant and to cut food costs; and can be tailored to meet the needs of the target audience.
In Nepal, we work with a rural, Tamang village, along the Gagar Khola (Gagar River). With guidance from a local livestock veterinarian, we are able to offer the villagers the education and tools needed to build new pens and coops, and to learn proper hen-keeping practices to eliminate the rampant disease in these villagers’ chicken populations. We also provide the tools and education to build organic, covered gardens to reduce their food expenses. It is up to each elder to choose which aspect of the program they want.
Your donations to this program will provide greater food security for the elders!
