Netsanet Tadesse, a resident of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is a devoted mother raising three children. She actively participates in a beekeeping cooperative located in Shiro Meda, Addis Ababa, as part of NCA's Ethiopia-Connect urban farming project. Initially established three years ago with support from the city administration, the cooperative faced unexpected challenges that stalled its progress, leading members to postpone their aspirations. However, since last year, Netsanet and her fellow cooperative members have revitalized their honey production efforts following comprehensive training sessions and the provision of essential inputs like beehives and bee colonies, significantly enhancing their beekeeping skills. Recently, they celebrated their first honey harvest. The Ethiopia-Connect project, funded by Norad - Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, is being implemented by NCA Ethiopia in partnership with the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church-Development and Inter-Church Aid Commission since 2021. The project aims to empower smallholder farmers by providing them with access to inputs, financial services, and markets, ultimately enhancing their income, quality of life, and food security. #sustainablenca #urbanfarming #ethiopiaconnect See less Edit

Actions speak louder than words, but actions words are a proof of results. A testimony of local farmer in Benin, with whom Graine de Vie (through our local partner CEDV) worked to restore his estate, demonstrates how we engage with local communities. Our reforestation strategy includes a strong commitment to involve local communities in restoring their natural environment and providing them with means to improve their livelihood. Our trees nurseries provide employment and a source of income. The seedlings are distributed free of charge and planted in villager’s land parcels, creating a source of food and income (fruit and cash crop trees).  Hence, our projects are well preserved and maintained long term by the communities where we are present. #reforestation #Benin #climatecrisis

In the spirit of the teachings of the Church of Christ, PACT Missionaries are dedicated to fostering growth, not just spiritually, but also physically through the blessed act of agriculture. As Genesis 2:15 guides us, "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it," we too are called to tend to the Earth with care and devotion. Our Agriculture Initiative seeks to empower communities through sustainable farming practices that honor God’s creation. Through this initiative, we provide resources, training, and support to local farmers in Zimbabwe, enabling them to feed their families and generate income that uplifts their communities. We follow the example set by Jesus Christ, who multiplied loaves and fishes to feed the multitudes. In His footsteps, PACT’s agricultural projects are miracles of multiplication, turning small seeds into bountiful harvests that sustain entire communities. Join PACT Missionaries in this divine cultivation. Your support can plant the seeds for a future where hunger is vanquished by the hands of those empowered by faith and love. "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." — Galatians 6:9 #churchchrist #faithfulfarming #spiritualharvest #bibleagriculture #communitygrowth #feedthehungry #sustainablefarming #christianstewardship #godsearth #faithinaction #plantingseeds #harvesthope #agricultureinitiative #feedingmultitudes #cultivatingcommunity

Conflict between herder and farmer groups is one of the key drivers of conflict in Ouham Pendé. However, given the right conditions, transhumance can facilitate peace and security throughout the region. Well-placed, working, and locally owned infrastructure can help to promote peaceful coexistence.     Settled, semi-settled, and transhumant communities benefit from socio-economic interactions, where trading takes place, oxen are rented for ploughing, and cattle are permitted to graze on stubble after harvest, whilst adding manure to croplands.     Our report amplifies local voices across Ouham Pendé, not only to highlight how decreasing accessibility to adequate infrastructure aggravates conflict associated with transhumance, but also to provide a platform for infrastructure to meet locally identified needs and provide favourable conditions for social cohesion. 🚨 To read the full report, please visit: https://lnkd.in/dxun43gR #peacebuilding #transhumance #conflictresolution

Thrilled to Witness Transformation! As someone deeply committed to community development, I am overjoyed to share a remarkable success story from the field. Through the incredible work of Save the Children International team, we are witnessing lives being transformed, hope being rekindled, and futures being rewritten. Allow me to introduce to you to Salat whom I met during our Cash transfer registration, a resilient pastoralist who faced immense challenges during the devastating drought. Salat lost all his precious animals, leaving him and his family in dire straits. But adversity breeds innovation, and Salat turned to farming as a beacon of hope. With unwavering determination and the support of Save the Children International through the BHA emergency project funded by USAID, Salat embarked on a new journey. Here’s how it unfolded: Cash Transfers: Salat received crucial cash transfers, these funds became the seeds of change, allowing him to invest in watermelon farming. From Dust to Bounty: Salat’s barren land transformed into lush watermelon fields. The vibrant green leaves stood as a testament to resilience and hard work. Family Nourishment: Salat received nutrition education and the watermelon harvest not only fed Salat’s family but also provided vital nutrition. Job Creation: Salat’s success didn’t stop there. He hired local laborers, creating employment opportunities within the community. Market Impact: Salat’s watermelons hit the market, bringing joy to consumers. His produce became a symbol of hope, proving that even in the harshest conditions, resilience can yield abundance. Salat’s inspiring journey caught the attention of Nation Media, who interviewed him. His story is a beacon of hope, illustrating how strategic interventions can empower communities and uplift lives. 📖 Read the Full Story: https://lnkd.in/dZ8Vpzm5 Let’s celebrate Salat’s resilience and the tireless efforts of Save the Children. Together, we can turn adversity into opportunity! 🍉🌱 #Savethechildren #CommunityEmpowerment #Resilience #Cashtransfer #Improvednutrition
