Agricultural processing

In the paddy fields of Samet, you can’t hear the muffled sound of the poles anymore. From now on, a threasher separates the rice grains from the straw. What a relief for the women. The local economy is boosted.

The kick-off meeting scheduled in early January has been postponed to March (date to be defined) due to current Coronavirus-related measures. We hope for a favorable evolution in order to maintain solidarity camps.
