2012.04 YUM request for funding

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 17:45:12 PST

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.

Requested: $33,856 (USD)

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.

Benita and Silverio Gavilán live in the verdant dormitory town of Fernando de la Mora, just outside Asunción. From here they have been implementing child-centred projects since 1997. Just a few kilometres from their home lies Asunción’s Gross Market (Mercado de Abasto) where the Gaviláns’ project, the Vida Plena Foundation, runs a day centre for children between the ages of 3 and 14 whose parents are absent – either working abroad or at work all day. The children are often from single-parent families, and many are looked after by grandparents or other relatives. In the daytime, when they are not at school, which is either in the morning or in the afternoon, these children have nowhere to go.
