Increasing Resilience Project: A Story of Sustainable Success

• Providing Eco-Friendly Solutions: Through training youth in blacksmithing, the project led to the production of **innovative solar cookers**, which were distributed to households to reduce reliance on firewood and gas. This initiative has significantly contributed to reducing carbon emissions, supporting global efforts to combat climate change and achieving environmental sustainability. 

• Sustainable Empowerment for Youth and Women:

The project was not a temporary activity; it equipped youth with skills in solar cooker production and beyond, creating a continuous source of income. Additionally, training women in sewing and food drying provided them with opportunities to improve their income and overcome economic challenges. Most importantly, the beneficiaries continue to work and produce even after the project ended, reinforcing sustainability at economic and social levels. 

This project is a living example of how local innovation can make a tangible difference in improving daily lives and protecting the climate for future generations
