To ensure group members achieve improved incomes, food and nutrition and other core family outcomes such as health and education among others, the project has supported VSLAs to establish business ventures/income generating activities through training and support with startup kits. 60 groups identified diverse ventures including crop and animal husbandry, crafts making, soap making, bee keeping and tree nursery bed management among others. In September and October 2023, all the 30 groups received their startup kits. Alongside the above support, Caritas established the backyard gardening fund in the VSLAs to support the establishment and management of vegetable gardens at household and group level in response to nutrition and income needs.
