With the interest to promote a physical, social, economical, political and spiritual well being of vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the communities’ livelihood is the basic component. South Sudan Youth and women can be more productive if involved in food production and security. This can be done in four areas: involving the rural youth in farming, buying their produce with motivating prices, help in processing their products and looking for national and international markets for the products. This will alleviate poverty, provide food security and create large employment base.So now can you email me the form for the grant and the guide line to my email so that we can also apply. Thanks for your great response.
