The rural poor, especially farmers Adivasis , produce most of the world’s food and stays in jungle . In return, they face high risks, a changing climate and very little reward for their incredibly hard work. The vast majority of poor rural farming communities are unable to compete equally in global markets. They remain stuck in chronic poverty.
We work with all market actors, including farmers, government and the private sector, to create inclusive economic growth and support the development of thriving rural communities.
We work to empower people to take greater control of their own lives, so they have the skills needed to attain secure, decent incomes and fulfilling employment opportunities.
Central to our approach is empowering people, developing confidence, and supporting them to build the basic assets needed to develop resilient livelihoods.
Developing Practical Skills
We work closely with vocational training institutes to deliver recognized, relevant training that people value, including levels 1-3 of National qualifications from City & Guilds and Pearson, and building teacher capacity with practical training and coaching. We also help to facilitate vocational outreach work, such as on-the-job vocational skills and training, and train-the-trainer approaches where young people take training out into rural areas.
