When Srey Chantha, a resident of Svay Ampear Village in Cambodia, signed up for a cattle-raising project backed by the East Asia Poverty Reduction Cooperation Pilot Program, she hoped to lift her family out of poverty. But the road wasn’t smooth—her cattle kept falling sick due to outdated methods. 📉🐄
Instead of giving up, Srey threw herself into training sessions to master better breeding techniques. No land? No problem! She transformed her backyard into a mini vegetable farm and, with support from the project team, dove into high-temperature mushroom cultivation. 🍄🔥 The results? Stellar! Her innovative mix of veggies and fungi boosted her income and became a local success story.
🌍 Why it matters: Srey’s journey shows how blending traditional knowledge with new skills can turn setbacks into comebacks. Her hustle is a blueprint for sustainable farming in rural communities.
