Ahunan Power Inc., together with Prime Infra Foundation, launched a livelihood program in Pakil, Laguna. It is focused on expanding income opportunities for farmers through the cultivation of mushroom and vermicomposting.
The program aims to benefit members of Punla Samahan ng mga Magsasaka ng Pakil, a community-based organization, and help them transition from subsistence farming to managing and sustaining an enterprise.
"Through the program, we assisted Punla members in strengthening their skill set, expanding their knowledge into more sustainable livelihood opportunities," said Bernadette Tan, head of programs and operations at Prime Infra Foundation.
The group underwent study tours and experiential training, helping them further gain exposure to various innovative cultivation practices such as organic agriculture, soil health, and proper seed selection. Members of Punla also enhanced their capabilities in organizational development to operate as a recognized farmers group.
