Livelihoods & Food Security
Restoring sustainable rural income, vocational micro-enterprises, and resilient agricultural assets.
Program Overview & Strategy
Empowering landless farmers, women artisans, and vulnerable flood-affected households with productive livestock, micro-enterprise toolkits, and climate-resilient farming techniques.
DIN's Livelihoods program addresses economic vulnerability across northern and central Sindh. In partnership with Save the Children, ACTED, and TVO, DIN has established livestock starter packs, vocational sewing & embroidery centers for women, and small shop starter kits. We emphasize sustainable rural asset creation, market linkages for indigenous artisans, and community seed banks.
Program Objectives & Pillars
- Livestock asset distribution for landless women
- Vocational training & micro-shop starter toolkits
- Climate-resilient agriculture & seed distribution
- CBO-led micro-credit & emergency safety nets
