New Skills, New Hope – A Farmers’ Group Helps Akuilina Ihurre to Press on Through Hard Times
Investing in people’s livelihoods in South Sudan is paving the way to Zero Hunger.
Since joining the agropastoral training programme, Akuilina has learned to line up and space crops, take care of growing plants by weeding, and use tools to loosen the soil.
Once group members graduate from the programme, they often join the next phase, supporting each other through a savings-and-loan club to make their community more resilient.
FAO in South Sudan aims to reach at least 800 000 food-insecure households through emergency livelihood support and activate resilience-building activities where possible. These include agropastoral field schools, like the one where Akuilina has received training.
As the farming group’s elder, Akuilina has become a counselor, the person other women turn to whenever disputes arise.
“I don’t have a solution when it comes to the situation in South Sudan, but I can offer solutions to the women in my group. I think we understand now that we are strong. Together we can fight hunger.”
By investing in people’s livelihoods, FAO is empowering them to take action and be a part of the global goal to achieve Zero Hunger.
