Qinling Mountain Area Poverty Alleviation Project
This six-year project was designed to ensure
food and income security for vulnerable poor people living in mountainous
areas with limited and degraded natural resources. The project works
with 128 of the poorest townships in north-western Hubei province
and south-western Shaanxi province. Typically, farms are extremely
small and produce solely for subsistence. The project's aims are to
strengthen microcredit and other financial services in the area and
to help poor people gain access to these services in order to begin
producing cash crops and other income-generating activities.
