This project offers vital humanitarian aid specifically for women displaced within the Democratic Republic of Congo, residing in camps around Goma. It aims to ensure access to nutritious food and empower women towards food security through livelihood activities, to equip them with income- generating skills. It aims to support 450 female heads of households or widows, providing them with accelerated training in gardening, providing seeds for rapidly growing vegetables, mushrooms, providing meals
Limited food access: Disruptions in food supply chains and inadequate food distribution programs can lead to malnutrition, especially among pregnant and lactating women and young children. Women often lack the resources and opportunities to grow their own food or earn income to purchase sufficient nutritious food
This project contributes to solving the problem of undernourishment of the more than 45,000 people who are directly dependent on these female heads of households. Due to the lack of humanitarian aid in the displaced camps, women and children have difficulty finding what to eat. Women are more dependent on humanitarian aid, which has become very rare currently, so this project aims to train women in income-generating activities, baking and making improved stoves, providing seeds and materials
450 women trained in urban gardening will produce for themselves the food that can feed their households. So at least 45,000 people will have something to eat easily around their households. Production will be rapid from 3 weeks to 1 month, for mushrooms it will be 2 weeks. Women trained in income-generating activities will have a little means to obtain other necessary items for the whole family. During 3 months of the project, 450 women will be able to carry out small income-generating
