Mennonite Central Committee Canada is supporting Migbaresenay Children and Family Support Organization with the third year of a three year food security project in the Amhara Region in Ethiopia designed to rehabilitate 1135 hectares of land and address 3,044 needy families. The sub-watershed is under severe environmental degradation where gully erosion has severely affected farmlands. The main project activities will be to capacitate beneficiaries on gulley rehabilitation and management of environmental friendly farm-income generating activities; control land degradation through applying physical and biological soil conservation measures; and raise per capita income of the target communities by rehabilitating their land and engaging them in farm-income generating activities.
