Sustainable Livelihoods
We started out looking to help expand job opportunities for the families of the children that came to our Children’s Homes.
Over the years we’ve introduced a range of sustainable work. Our fashion accessories program works with 3 artisan women’s groups in our community to provide high quality goods for international markets.
Our concern over the environment has developed into a range of sustainable farming practices. Biochar improves the soil and crop yields while eliminating smoke from open field burning by smallholder farmers.
Agroforestry regenerates forests and watersheds while adding higher margin sources of income for the farmers.
Styrofoam, like plastics, is not degradable. The styrofoam brick program keeps styrofoam out of our landfills and provides low cost housing material.

Biochar Story - Sustainable Agriculture
Our concern over the environment has developed into a range of sustainable farming practices training. Biochar improves the soil and crop yields while eliminating smoke from open field burning by smallholder farmers. We initiated a program for smallholder farmers to provide free training on how to make and use biochar from their crop waste. |
