#18 - Agriculture
In the developed world we often take the significance of agriculture for granted. There is no life without agriculture. In the developing world, most of the people we work with are directly engaged with agriculture in one way or another. Sometimes small gardens provide daily bread for their families, and for some, it is the source of their living. In either case, farming, beekeeping, and livestock have become a vital part of our equipping ministry.
Where we can improve the yield of agriculture, we improve the quality of life for those dependent upon it
We have teams that teach natural fertilizing and composting that have drastically improved the quantity and quality of crops. This is better nutrition and a better source for those who are selling it. Additionally, teaching beekeeping provides both a food source, a product, and healthier crops. As we empower communities with piggeries and goats, opportunities for food stability and business increase.
Our agriculture initiatives are GOOD NEWS that helps people rise out of poverty.
#17 - Healthcare
One of the most heartbreaking experiences of working in the places we work is the reality that people are dying every day from preventable causes. In many cases, a lack of basic healthcare and education is the root problem. Our SHINE healthcare curriculum empowers community and village leaders to care for their people through Sanitation, Hygiene, Immunization, Nutrition, and Empowerment.
We are confronting poverty, creating potential, and literally saving lives.
As we earn the trust of communities by tending to their healthcare vulnerabilities, doors for the Gospel open wider, and further opportunities for community development are realized.
If you are a practitioner in agriculture or healthcare, there is a real opportunity for you to go on a Links team to invest in a community in need of these resources. We can provide the training for you.
The generosity of our Links Family is giving the GOOD NEWS of better agriculture and healthcare in places where it matters the most.
Thank you for helping us do the MOST GOOD possible. Also, if you have a business or connection in either of these areas, we would love to connect you to a project to champion.
Please be praying for these areas of our ministry as you continue to pray that we would meet our goal of raising $24,000 to finish strong in 2024.
