Empowerment Through Gardening

Contributor: Mercy Corps

Mercy Corps is working with Green Hand, a local organization with extensive agricultural expertise in Aceh to train villagers in organic gardening methods. This program also aims to empower the women so that they can generate additional household income from empty land. Before this program, much of the village's land was not productive. Organic gardening systems are helping to regenerate the land and the fortunes of village farmers.
