Synopsis (short abstract) The women-led Vegetable Production Group (VPG) was set up as a model to support women who seek to drive change for the benefits of their families and communities. The group is designed as a safe space for members to share experience and skills, while fostering networking opportunities with other groups. With the same desires and shared vision, the group can collectively achieve more together with higher impact, while each member can hone their own leadership styles and management skills. The intervention was made possible through the "Building Climate-Resilient and Eco-Friendly Agriculture Systems and Livelihoods in Lao People's Democratic Republic" project or Climate REAL project.This is the life transforming story through the support from the Climate REAL project.

    “With all the effort I put in, I only ever got low output. If I put in less effort, I got even lower yields.” This is the statement expressed by Khammoun Heuangsouvantha prior to joining the Climate REAL project. His remark and rice output changed significantly after a year of engagement with the projecct. Hopes are high for the rice farming communities of Attapeu Province. Khammoun personally believes that there is no end to the learning and enrichment and that local farmers can benefit from continued support. It is hoped that in the next 5 to 10 years, villagers will be able to produce enough rice not only for their own families but also for sale. The potential to start a small agribusiness and gradually improve living conditions would be within reach. This is the life transforming story through the support from the Climate REAL project.

    “We cannot reduce the number of natural disasters experienced in the country and in Attapeu Province itself. However, we can surely reduce and manage its impacts on the lives of villagers and local farmers.” This is how Vanvilay Souliyapalom, a government officer at the Samakhixay District Agriculture and Forestry Office, feels. Vanvilay clearly understands the importance of putting in place measures for the prevention, reduction and mitigation of any natural disaster risk on crops and livestock and on community members and their properties. She thus fully participated and joined the training provided by the "Building Climate-Resilient and Eco-Friendly Agriculture Systems and Livelihoods in Lao People's Democratic Republic" project or Climate REAL project, to develop Community-based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) plans, a strategy highlighted in the district socio-economic development plan to manage disaster risks at the grassroots level.This is the life transforming story through the support from the Climate REAL project.
