Cuba

The Sustainable Development Program of the Cuban Council of Churches (CCC) aims to raise agricultural yield, reduce rural poverty, improve nutrition, improve resilience to climate change, foster gender empowerment, and break dependency on imported food and inputs. The program improved the food security and nutrition for 290 people. Previously, unproductive plots were farmed and small backyards were utilized to produce grains, vegetables and breed small animals (chicken, rabbits, pigs, sheep and goats). Four additional water wells were built and 13 families have access to clean potable water and water to irrigate their small gardens.
