Seeds of Resilience

Описание: Pakistan—the fifth most populated country in the world—is extremely vulnerable to climate change and food insecurity. The Global Climate Risk Index ranks Pakistan as one of the most-climate affected countries in the world. With an economy heavily reliant on agriculture (almost 20%) of GDP), even minor climactic incidences can have dramatic effects of food security. 
To help build seeds of resilience in marginalised communities, CWSA implemented a humanitarian assistance, early recovery and development (HERD) project, with the support of PWS&D, in highly food insecure Sindh province.

The project, which supported 23,319 people, provided emergency food assistance during the first stage of intervention. Further stages provided families with seeds and training on climate-smart agriculture. Additionally, 300 women artisans received training to expand their livelihood opportunities. 

Watch the Seeds of Resilience video, which documents the changes in the community and then engage in discussion and dialogue using the provided discussion questions.
