ACHIEVEMENTS:
A total of 113 brothers and sisters have undergone the training. All the brothers and sisters of CADeP benefit from a diverse training programme, including soil and water conservation, livestock keeping, crop and livestock husbandry, vegetable growing, food processing, farm record keeping and agro-forestry. The skills and knowledge gained have enabled the trainees to manage resources under their care and make the best use of the available local materials. Since the intervention, a considerable amount of land has been opened up to plant a variety of crops providing the community with sufficient food, even surplus for selling at market. As a result, the trained brothers and sisters have improved nutrition, income and are working towards sustainability within their communities.
