Why Rural Communities

Why Rural Communities ?

Rural livelihoods are enhanced through effective participation of rural people and rural communities in the management of their own social, economic and environmental objectives by empowering people in rural areas, particularly women and youth.

So, how can rural people be sustainably empowered?

Education and Training: Investing and building the capacities of rural people will improve their business, social, economic and financial skills. Capacity building and adult training range from providing education for both the young and adults. Adult education and training (education entrepreneurship) is a huge industry and it can be channeled to help rural people to be empowered.

Access to Financial Facilities: Rural people are consistently looking for different avenues to access microloans, Farming tools, business management and operational tools. Project or program designs focus on empowerment should be that which helps rural communities access interest-free loans, basic business tools and farm equipment.

Health: Rural people are primarily vulnerable to every form of health issues in different communities. They face all forms of health challenges. There is a high rate of maternal and infant mortality, HIV/Aid and other lethal diseases that are sprouting by the second around the world. Their effects are worse in rural communities, and rural people are major recipients. We focus on providing affordable health care and training for rural communities on healthy living, getting and taking clean water, keeping the clean and green environment and maternal care.
