In our community, many families depend on agriculture as their primary livelihood, including growing crops, raising livestock, and fish farming. However, during harvest season, there is often an oversupply of produce that cannot be sold all at once. This leads to falling prices, food waste, and significant income loss after months of hard work. As a result, some parents are forced to leave their homes in search of more stable employment elsewhere.
This program addresses these challenges by equipping families with practical skills to process their agricultural produce into value-added products that are easy to store and sell over a longer period. These include baked goods, dried produce, and fruit juices, enabling families to generate income even beyond the harvest season.
Through this initiative, families work and learn together—processing, packaging, and marketing their products. Children and youth participate in a safe and guided environment, gaining valuable life skills, teamwork experience, and a stronger sense of responsibility.
The Church develops the quality of life for children and youth by using the Word as the foundation for development. It promotes the development of families, children, and youth so that children and youth can positively impact their communities and society.
