India: With environmental protection against malnutrition

Terre des Hommes Germany supports three partner organizations in northern India, which ensure that 3,400 children can eat healthy food in around 2,300 households. Ecological cultivation methods help the local small farmer families to increase their yields and at the same time protect the environment in the fragile ecosystem of the Himalaya. With the help of machines for further agricultural processing, whose operation the farmers learn, they can preserve food for families, but also refine them for sale and thus earn their own money. This not only helps the families, but also strengthens the economic position of women and thus their social reputation.

In addition, they are trained in the fact that the financial support for schools and kindergartens promised by the state really comes- an important function for the village community, because thanks to the initiative of the villagers, it can be ensured that the authorities really make their promised contribution to the fight against deficiency and malnutrition.

The program is co -financed by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
