| Large scale deforestation due to forestry activities since the 1980s has
eroded the thin layer of top soil and led to impoverished sandy soil in
YUM’s working area of Bukit Batu. The communities, due to their lack of
necessary knowledge to address this problem, have great difficulty
producing fresh food and therefore have to purchase it at high costs. To address these problems, the aim of this project is to improve the nutritional situation of the target group in 7 villages of Central Kalimantan through the promotion of home gardens for the self‐provision of the family, improvement in the quality of the soil, primarily using organic practices, and promotion of small-animal husbandry. |

"…a more informed and compassionate approach to death
and dying."
Death should be held with the same reverence as we give to birth. Unless we act and become informed, we will lose the skills to cope with it and will find this extraordinary process of death swept under the carpet completely. Living Well, Dying Well works to educate the general public, health professionals, and lay people, and it trains volunteers as "Doulas" to be companions and councilors for the dying.
