Lifeline’s presence in Punduru is not limited to agricultural work but is having direct impact in the community through the mentorship and community engagement programs, the church, and our Junior Secondary School. Regarding the latter, this is commensurate with our vision to create space for all children to access education, even in the most remote places like Punduru.
As we seek to continually invest in the many financially challenged families and disadvantaged children, we also increasingly seek to raise awareness of the rights of the girl child and acceptance of the value of the women in the community.
Despite these challenges, we are continuing to develop our own cocoa and plantain plantations and, as you can see from this picture, things are looking good!
