HAHAN Timor-Leste
Donate NowTimor-Leste
Timor-Leste has one of the highest rates of stunting (low height for age) in the world, with 46% of children under five suffering from chronic malnutrition. In the Tetun language, HaHan means ‘food’. The HAHAN project is supporting households in four villages in the Viqueque district. Farmers are gaining knowledge, skills, and assets to expand vegetable, chicken and egg production. ADRA is helping communities develop savings and loans groups so farmers can access credit and markets for their produce, helping to improve incomes. ADRA is also helping vulnerable households with kitchen gardens, small business activities and safe water.
This project is supported by the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP).
