Phase 2 of the program focuses more deeply upon financial independence and food security through income generation both at home and as part of a group. By providing beneficiaries with the resources and knowledge to initiate their own projects based on dream drawing as a family plan. Phase 3 of action sees the gradual end of project support to households and groups. This final stage assists working groups to become legal cooperatives and autonomous.
