The Diocese of Monze is helping rural communities to re-establish their livelihoods in the face of ongoing food shortages and to improve future food stocks.

The Diocese is encouraging women in particular to set up their own businesses, through provision of credit.

Farmers are being helped to cultivate their land using efficient and environmentally friendly techniques.
