With its goal of empowering rural communities to become self-sufficient, the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR) partnered with the SCF to introduce organic farming and livelihood programs to XDP patients and their families.

From simple vegetable and herb farming to more complex swine and poultry farming, these projects continue to provide sustainable livelihood solutions. They were especially beneficial in enabling families to thrive during the COVID-19 lockdown.

The IIRR believes in initiating and propagating human-centered projects that allow people to solve their own challenges in the areas of health, education and the environment.
