Sustainability
Striving for self-sustainability, our village aims to establish micro-enterprises that provide necessities for our community and generate income through sales. As nutrition is integral for children's health and development, we have prioritized building local food production capabilities. By supplying our own food and selling the surplus, we take the first steps toward a self-reliant village economy.
