Livelihood and Poverty Alleviation

We utilize a sustainable livelihoods approach to create a sustainable world by addressing various issues, including poverty


Support Scholarship for the Poorest of the Poor in Our Target Communities (school materials, fees, etc)

Supporting scholarships for the less privileged is an endeavor that aims to create pathways out of poverty by investing in education. The target communities are often characterized by systemic disadvantages, including limited access to quality education, inadequate resources, and societal barriers that perpetuate cycles of poverty.

To maximize our impact, our scholarship programs incorporate several key components including fostering social cohesion and addressing systemic inequalities.


Promote Green Initiatives

The promotion of green initiatives, such as bee farming, small-scale poultry, and the improvement of Non-Timber Forest Product (NTFP) value chains, can contribute to environmental conservation, economic empowerment, and community well-being.


Promote Farming as an Alternative Source of Sustainable Income Instead of Wildlife Hunting

 

Farming, particularly when practiced sustainably, offers a robust and multifaceted approach to generating income while also contributing to environmental health. Farming supports local economies through various channels. It creates jobs in production, processing, and distribution. It also generates revenue through the sale of crops, livestock, and value-added products.

 

Promoting Farming as an alternative.

Farming offers a more consistent and potentially larger economic impact. Hunting revenue is often tied to seasonal activities, whereas farming can provide year-round income. Sustainable farming practices can directly contribute to environmental conservation.


Donate Farming Equipment to Farmers and Schools

Donating farming equipment to farmers and schools offers a multitude of benefits, fostering sustainable food systems, supporting educational initiatives, and strengthening local economies.

Support Community Infrastructural Development

Supporting community infrastructural development addresses the specific needs and context of each community. It involves a combination of infrastructure development, community involvement, policy and regulation, and financial support, all working together to improve the quality of life and promote sustainable development in remote villages.

Support to Victims of Wildlife Attacks and Seek Participatory Solutions to Wildlife

Wildlife attacks, particularly by elephants, pose significant challenges to communities living near their habitats. These attacks result in crop damage, property destruction, and tragically, human fatalities and injuries. The economic and social consequences are substantial, leading to food insecurity, loss of livelihoods, and increased conflict between humans and wildlife.

Providing support to victims of wildlife attacks is a crucial first step.
