Halo Verde – Timor Leste

About the project
The first Plan Vivo project developed in Timor-Leste and the first of its kind in South East Asia, the Halo Verde project builds lasting partnerships with Timorese farmers by working together on agroforestry, land restoration and sustainable agricultural practices.
The Halo Verde project works to economically empower local community groups in Laclubar Sub-District. Through tree planting, livestock management and improved land use practices, the project restores soil, improves moisture retention, and protects watersheds.
The project is empowering the community through creation of farmers groups, environmental educational campaigns and promotion of other livelihood activities that include a female microfinance initiative and scholarships for local students.
In my opinion, this project is very good. It can help us, as rural women, to establish our micro-business.
