The ‘She Thrives’ program in Vietnam will focus on two key areas of change to make a sustainable difference in the lives of rural agricultural producers.
Cargill and CARE International signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a two-year program, ‘She Thrives’. ‘She Thrives’ aims to improve sustainable livelihoods among rural smallholders, particularly women and ethnic minorities from Dak Lak province in Vietnam by connecting farmers and producers to the tools and resources they need to enhance their livelihoods sustainably.
This program focused on the central highlands province of Dak Lak will commence immediately and run through August 2024. Over the next two years, it will impact over 15,000 people, including over 7,000 women from the province’s Buon Ho district.
The ‘She Thrives’ program in Vietnam will focus on two key areas of change to make a sustainable difference in the lives of rural agricultural producers in the villages of Dak Lak. Firstly, by enhancing access to inclusive markets, and secondly, by increasing access to productive agricultural resources and strengthening women’s capabilities, confidence and skills to pursue the economic opportunities that work best for their families.
Ralph Bean said, Counselor for Agricultural Affairs at the U.S. Embassy. “Cargill is focused on Vietnam’s sustainable and innovative agricultural sector and the millions of farmers who contribute to the food security of Vietnam and the world, and we at the Embassy are truly proud of the company and the significant economic and social contributions it has been making through programs such as She Thrives.”
