Too early to tell....
But we'll do anyhow.....
As read in the Stanford Social Innovation Review (summer 200) from the book review by Paul S. Hudnut on 'Out of Poverty' from Paul Polak (240 pages - Berrett-Koehler, 2008),
"Polak has long believed that to have major impact, global poverty alleviation efforts must focus on small-plot farmers. A recent World Bank report backs him up, noting that "three of every for poor people in developing countries live in rural areas.... and most depend oon agriculture in their livelihoods.""
That is why Oud in Afrika has been focussing on the farm and horticulture garden in Mundika with the sisters of Grace & Compassion.
And the results have been good. That is why we want to try and duplicate that success elsewhere, including in western Ethiopia with our partners there.
We already have a name for it..... C.A.R.E. Farms ; Community Assisted Rural Elderly Farms.
It is too early to tell you, but if you promise to keep it for yourself........ You can also contact us if you want to help us with implementation and more !
