These systems allow farmers to grow crops during the dry season which increases output and enables them to sell surplus crops at the market for income. Our welfare program assists elderly members of the community who can no longer work to earn an income and sometimes provides funds for unexpected, unpreventable expenses such as funeral expenses that have the potential to decimate savings. The women taking part in our microfinance program started and/or expanded a number of small businesses including fish and charcoal stands.-$15,967
