VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT
Income inequalities exacerbate poverty levels in remote villages.
An important concern for fighting poverty is to ensure that resources reach the poor and marginal groups living in remote rural areas. United Children's Fund provides social and educational program to assist these families in their daily struggle. These programs focus on:
- Reaching the poor and vulnerable with programs available to all.
- Adult training programs on better farming and animal care.
- Marketing programs to increase income generated from products.
- Training in various local cottage industries.
- Village seminars on health and nutrition.
- Development of water sources and better sanitation.
- Programs for the empowerment of women.
Experts from various government agencies, both local and international, and major universities are provided to conduct these programs. In addition to the large village seminars, continuing weekly adult education programs are available on many topics.
Attendance at these programs can be from several thousand at a village gathering to 12 or 15 at the small one-on-one education programs.
Thousands of people have benefited from these free programs. United Children's Fund continues to expand these programs to additional areas to serve as many as possible.
