Sindh Province, Pakistan

Recently Malik* escaped the clutches of his landlord and has moved into the training centre of a GHNI partner. He has been working hard in the fields that Omar* planted with 78 naseberry plants where he also planted fodder for livestock. He is learning how to make compost and, as a result, decreasing the expenses of expensive fertilisers. Malik is using the compost on the fodder and naseberry fields. 

RM Village*, Nepal

During this quarter, we have done different activities successfully in our village. We organised women’s meetings and taught about sanitation and women’s Health Education. In this meeting, there were more than a hundred women participating. We distributed some safety pad materials and other materials. It was really effective and interesting for them.

Goat Loan Programme, Jordan

The season of milking the goats is here, which means the time to see the payoff of the project is here, too, and self-sustainability is activated.
 

Um Karam* is making cheese, yogurt, and labneh from the goats' milk. Through the sales of the milk products to the people of the village, Um Karam is generating some income. She is making 5-6 JDs per day which she uses to buy the groceries and other supplies for her family and household.

Tuti Village, Ethiopia

The Food Committee, through Transformational Community Development (TCD), helped the community engage in irrigation and in harvesting potatoes. Recently, there was a clash between tribes and the village generator was taken by bandits. This meant the Agriculture Group did not have a pump. This made it difficult to continue irrigation like before. GHNI is planning to provide them with another water pump.
