Project description

Want to solve real-world agricultural challenges? Communities in Guinea are interested in implementing sustainable farming practices and expanding their production with your assistance.

Situated in West Africa, Guinea has abundant natural resources that are ideal for crops. However, a study by the World Food Program in June 2024 indicated 13.9 million inhabitants remain food insecure and malnourished. To reduce poverty and improve the country’s nutrition, Guinea’s government wishes to strengthen community-level agricultural practices.

As Nutritional Security Outreach Facilitator, you will collaborate with health centers and schools to promote new or improved techniques for diversified and nutrient-rich food production. Together, you will identify and develop income-generating activities for youth clubs and women’s groups. Through your daily work and community engagement, you will also enhance intercultural understanding between Guineans and Americans.
