The Homestead Program is our strategy for addressing the basic human needs such as, food, water and shelter while helping poor women start income generating projects. The main focus of this project is to ensure that a homestead has decent shelter, clean water, sanitation facilities, a vegetable garden, some chickens and some goats and pigs. A homestead should supply enough vegetables, meat, milk and eggs to take care of the basic food needs of a family while the rest can be sold in order to generate income for the family. This holistic approach looks out for the long term economic prospects of the family and ensures that disadvantaged rural women have enough food to feed their families and they dont have to rely on outside help in perpetuity.
The Homestead Program empowers rural women with basic needs, income opportunities, and self-sustainability.
