The project uplifts community incomes by supporting small-scale farmers, fishermen, and local stakeholders in nearby villages, fostering economic resilience and shared prosperity.

By sourcing food locally and providing training for craftsmen and women, it enhances livelihoods and quality of life. Investments in women’s groups and community health programs ensure families have access to nutritious food and essential resources.

We expect that 50% of residents—approximately 1,438 people—will experience improved well-being, while health services will benefit all 5,752 residents in these communities.

The initiative aims to improve access to quality education for 45% of the population aged 11-40 in nearby villages—about 2,500 people. It offers ongoing education for teachers, after-school programs, adult education, and improvements to sanitation and school libraries.

The project enhances skills for 25% of women in local families and will employ 75 to 100 people, including 18 to 25 women. We expect about 1,408 women to benefit from improved livelihoods, 2,817 women to gain enhanced health services, and 1,250 women and girls to access better education.

At least 20% of nearby residents—around 1,150 people—will see improvements in water quality and access as the project co-finances household rainwater catchment systems for clean, safe water.

Training programs will enhance skills for 100% of identified community members—23 individuals—and 25% of local stakeholders, roughly 1,438 people.

We expect at least 50% of nearby residents—about 2,876 people—to see improved livelihoods through our project activities.

Community cleanup initiatives for garbage and plastic waste, including recycling, will foster responsibility and pride while creating value from waste.

We expect project net emission removals of 5,915,842 tons and reductions of 67,308,950 tons in the project area over its lifetime, significantly benefiting the environment.
