AGRICULTURAL PROGRAMME, MKCHYAN

Current project

Following a request for help from Karen the Pastor of the local church in 2003, CRY was able to purchase one Hectare of land to support the community. Since that time, further land has been purchased and with the help of grants from CRY, animals have been bought and a larger scale agricultural programme developed.

This is now a thriving programme which provides employment for local people and skills training, which has also enabled many families to become self-sufficient. Produce from the farm also supports a feeding programme to hundreds of impoverished families in the region. The project is now self-sufficient and there are plans to develop new aspects. CRY continues to maintain regular contact with Karen and from time-to-time accesses grants for capital developments.
