Indonesia - Polewali

GHNI's TCD workers have been helping these villagers secure income through coconut farming, and now 10 villagers are earning income in this way. But the village is ready to progress toward holistic Transformational Community Development to end their extreme poverty for good.

Although there is now more income in this community, the impact has not been very visible. There has not been an increase in education for children, or awareness of good health practices. Income is often mismanaged. Social issues and contention still contribute to **** in the cycle of poverty. The training team sees their strong relationships and reputation in the community as a great foundation for launching a TCD program to see the community overcome their problems and find opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty.
