HOPE FOR FAMILIES IN BELARUS
creating sustainable livelihoods

This project helps to:

  1. provide families and communities with new ideas and opportunities for earning a living
  2. develop practical ideas that build on existing skills and experience
  3. give encouragement, training and support 
  4. support small projects that have the potential for wider application in other areas of the country
  5. support the development of credit unions in Belarus

In 2007 with our Belarusian partners we have:

  1. received funding for another 1000 apple trees
  2. identified three more village communities and suitable partners to establish three new orchards
  3. continued to support the regenerated orchard in Golovchitsy
  4. supplied beekeepers with a portable centrifuge to enable them to extract honey from the mobile hives
  5. supported the development of credit unions

We are currently:

  1. fundraising for the purchase of trees
  2. investigating ways of supporting micro enterprises in rural communities
