About Program
The project aims to address Pupil’s livelihood needs for income generation, fuel wood, timber, fruit, fodder and other non-timber forest products while halting and reversing the trend of the forest loss and related environmental degradation through promoting vegetable and fruit tree growing and agro-forestry systems.
This site will help empower women and girls with skills in building using natural materials while demonstrating building using natural easily available and accessible materials and techniques. This will give rural poor communities the ability to make decisions based on what are the most appropriate ways for them to use in building given the available materials and the triple bottom-line of sustainability and climate.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
