Lifting 600 extreme poor households living in the flood-prone areas through asset transfer, employment creation and improving their quality of life and nutritional status;
Solar-powered training boat training BHHs on the three-tier farming (3TF -floating garden along with chicken and fish raising in three-tiers), two-tier farming (2TF- duck and fish raising in two-tiers), Iswardi 34 and chewing cane, market access and promote climate change adaptations;
The project will provide BHHs with 3TF and 2TF structures, cash support, agricultural inputs, SuryaHurricane (an innovative low-cost solar lantern made from recycled parts of the conventional and much used kerosene hurricane lantern), chicken, ducks and fishes. The project will provide each BHH with poultry and fish feed support during the first year, and also provide the chicken, duck and fish health support (vaccination and treatment).
Onboard training will support landless people to adapt to climate change induced flooding – help them stay at their village in the monsoon while ensuring the year round income. SuryaHurricane lanterns will provide improved-lights in dark villages, while ensuring save travel through flooded lands, reducing CO2 emissions and saving fossil fuel and costs;
Graduation period: 18-24 months.
