Our farm

Next to the fish farm are the society's fields, which FAO helped us start 10 years ago. Here is a society member with a healthy looking crop. We also grow grains, lettuce and potatoes.

Just like the fish farm, some of it we sell, some of it we eat. Part of the money we earn goes to our families, and part of it goes back into society projects.

Our next project is a chicken farm, which we are building with profits from our fish pond and help from the Rotary Club. We hope we will make a profit of as much as 1 000 rupees per person a month selling chickens and eggs.
