Program to improve rural livelihoods through income generating activities. Morogoro and Dodoma, Tanzania.
Morogoro and Dodoma are the two regions with the highest food and income poverty rates in Tanzania. Draught and lack of sophisticated agricultural production methods provoke that 60% of small agricultural producers have no source of food before the new crop. These periods of ‘hunger’ can last for up to 6 months.
The holistic program ‘Sustainable livelihoods’ developed by IO with community support and in partnership with 4 local associations seeks to guarantee food security by providing alternative economic activities to small agricultural producers. Moreover, IO provides vocational training in business management, subsidizes seed capital and facilitates access to microcredit services or rotating funds.
With your help: IO can provide a chicken shed for chicken rearing (60 Euros), deliver vocational training and set up the facilities for oil processing (total cost: 1,315 Euros) or create a community cereal bank (total cost: 5,265 Euros).
