Through a multi-faceted approach that includes house construction and improvements to daily life, reforestation, and a vertical shaft brick kiln (VSBK), the beneficiaries are trained in different themes toward this end.

The next issues of the e-magazine will highlight the major aspects of this development, as related by Claudia Wild, beginning in this issue with the improvements of daily life reflected in house construction and related measures.
