Women's Microenterprise
AMARANTO ALEGRIA DE LA VIDA
FRIENDS OF FORESTS AND FARMS has been assisting the development of a Women’s microenterprise that makes nutritious foods from the high-protein amaranth grain and generates needed employment for the village women and support for small farmer amaranth producers. The group does educational outreach to communities about the nutritious value of amaranth. They have also taught how to build eco-stoves from local materials that make more efficient use of wood fuel and protect health by venting noxious fumes.
