Mr. Nek Phoumanivong stands in front of a simple wooden livestock shelter in Tam Village, Laos. Wearing a light blue polo shirt, he looks towards the camera with confidence. After taking part in Cord-supported training, Mr. Phoumanivong learned sustainable farming techniques, including producing organic fertiliser and raising livestock safely. He now shares these skills with other farmers in his community, helping families build more secure and sustainable livelihoods.
Lives changed
In Laos, the economy is built on agriculture and most of the population is involved in farming. Despite efforts to reduce poverty, there are still huge differences between urban and rural areas. Rural communities face deep challenges. Small-scale farming brings little income, and changing weather patterns caused by climate change make life even harder.
