Empowering women-headed households in communities through training in better land use practices, provision of basic health care services, and sustainable management of forest resources.
How Donors Like You Helped
Thanks to donors like you, a total of $222 was raised for this project.
Mount Rinjani is one of the largest volcanic mountains in Indonesia. Communities live on the margins of the forests surrounding the Rinjani area where high population density and population growth are found. Local farmers clear forests to cultivate crops and tree gardens together, in a region physically isolated and economically deprived. Men often migrate to Malaysia in search of jobs leaving behind their wives to take care of the household with little or no resources to sustain them.
Activities
The project will use participatory methods to help women living in the forest margin areas, especially those whose husbands have migrated, to solve their priority problems.
