They realized that their resources came from agricultural related enterprises managed by small and medium sized farmers but although they had large tracts of cultivatable land, their production, productivity and income was very low. This could be due to the fact that the region experienced long periods of drought and although two large rivers run through the communities, access to the water from these rivers were limited for use by the farmers for their crops and animals. This low income could attribute to the circumstances of a large percentage of the population was suffering from high levels of malnutrition and that they were plagued with an overabundance of health issues, since they would not have the funds to access proper healthcare or nutritious foods.A report was prepared by the Social Work Team to the funding agency All Terrain Enterprises, seeking to obtain a grant of US$5M in order to build sustainable rural economies while addressing the issues of low income, malnutrition and inadequate healthcare.
