Poor rural communities in western Nepal are facing a food crisis. For much of the year, most people cannot grow enough to feed themselves. There is little knowledge of effective farming techniques and a lack of irrigation. This means people rely on increasingly unpredictable rainfall and poor quality seeds.
They spend what little income they have on expensive imported food. Consequently, hunger is widespread and crop yields are declining. With your support, we can give families the skills to grow more, stay healthy and generate a decent income, while having a greater influence over their own lives.
