LIFE IN NEARBY VILLAGES

MOET Works with communities with the objectives of improving living standards of the villagers.  It is from these villages where we do the” outreach program.”  The children who attend primary education and vocational skills come from these villages.  The poverty level is very high.  The increasing number of large families headed by old women  forces MOET management to use all available skills and resources to make sure little change is seen, especially on household food supply. Organic farming  techniques are applied through Permaculture trainings.
