HAHAN Timor-Leste
Donate NowTimor-Leste
The HAHAN project will support the development of marketable food production for farming households in four villages in the Viqueque district. HAHAN means âfoodâ in Tetun. Farmers will gain knowledge, skills, and assets to support vegetable and/or chicken production to increase household food security and providing livelihood opportunities. Timor-Leste has one of the highest rates of stunting in the world with alarming rates of malnutrition in children under- 5. HAHAN will address several important causes of under-nutrition in Timor-Leste, primarily increasing food available for consumption, diet diversity, and access to water and sanitation. These issues will be addressed by three primary activities of kitchen gardens, improved chicken production, and sanitary interventions.
Many of ADRAâs overseas development projects, like HAHAN in Timor Leste, can access government funding if ADRA can raise the required matched funds.
