A place with an astonishing view of beautiful fields where farmers are now able to get best out from their own kitchen garden. With the technical and financial assistance from Caritas Nepal, farmers are joyful after realizing improved productivity in an organic way. Farmers showed tremendous gratitude for guiding them towards sustainable livelihood.
After the presence of Caritas in our village, we started getting loans easily to initiate any sort of income generating activities. I started goat farming. Farmers like us are benefited a lot.
