Food Security Program
General Objectives:
- To increase the income of the poorest in the population through the promotion of agriculture and livestock management.
- To ensure a sustainable future by teaching important concepts such as 'savings and credit' and 'cooperative systems'.  "Before 'Food Security Program' we were very poor, no food and no clothing for the children. Then God brought us the program. First we were given goats, we used the manure on the land. Then we were given a cow. Now we have our own crops and we can feed our family. We sold a calf and purchased material for this house. 'Food Security' has taught us so much - Savings and Credit, animal husbandry, preparing income generating projects, HIV training, family planning, and fighting violence against women and children. We still need more training to help us become able to help ourselves and others in the area."
