​Nature Preservation & Environmental Management
 

Households were provided with pigs and a simple bio-gas machine in order to keep cooking expenses to a minimum and reduce the use of natural wood from near the  communities.

Kitchen Gardens & Fruit Tree Planting

In order to assist families to be self sufficient and produce income, PEDA encouraged local  families to plant home gardens. Participants were given fruit and vegetable plants. The  gardens meant that families could feed themselves and sell excess produce at local markets  to earn money.

Local Production Promotion

Materials and equipment for weaving, handicrafts and fish feeding activities were provided to members of a saving/self-help group. Members sold their products at local markets each month. The group, along with a leader/committee and book-keeper, designed the rules of the group and ensured it ran efficiently.
