  • It is a story of Horti-Bilau, a group of rural farmers in a village called Uma Naruk, with 10 families involved as group members. Before starting the group, they worked as individual farmers, but they continued to face the problems due to lack of agricultural production, lack of food, lack of money, and the inability to finance their children’s education, and their individual income was very low (minimal). They agreed to create a group in their village to develop their own agricultural and aquaculture activities through the support from Caritas Diocesan of Baucau and in partnership with Caritas Australia.

  • Poultry farming has a long history in Nepal and is one of the traditional agricultural practices of the communities. It holds an important place in the rural economy. Caritas Nepal, in collaboration with SAFBIN project, distributed five chickens to a famer in Kawasoti Municipality, Nawalparasi District under the Climate Resilient Agriculture System for Smallholders Farmers (CRASS) to provide the family with an opportunity to begin a new venture in agriculture. After two years of hard work and dedication, the five chickens given in the beginning of the program has now grown to 130 chickens and it brought significant changes to the family’s daily life. #SafeFoodforAll #FoodHero #WorldFoodDay2025
