Sustainable Agriculture and Economic Strengthening of Women in Heikununu
The village of Heikununu is a maroon village populated with the Saramacan tribe approx 600 villagers. The village is very isolated and there are no basic facilities such as electricity and potable water. The shifting cultivation of the community has lower yields due to periods of droughts.Through this project the women want to change their condition by raising their awareness about the sustainable use of land, training in biological agriculture (agro forestry) marketing while reducing the degradation (erosion/pollution) of their soil.
