The intervention is centred on withdrawing the youths of Sioma ward from the wasted time of risk and cheap labour involvement in timber trading, thus, being major contributing factors to deforestation. Most of these youths targeted can attest to the facts that they have not recorded sustainable economic benefits from this industry, instead, some have ended up sustaining serious injuries during the process of cutting trees with the chainsaw and loading logs for transportation.
The Project ?Help us, Help them Sioma Ward Youth Livelihood Improvement project? will raise awareness in communities targeted on the dangers of deforestation and educate them on the importance of community participation in sustainable forest management.
