The ASAP Foundation

Rural food security

ASAP chooses an integrated approach of rural community development delivered through the Asset-based Community Development (ABCD) methodology, which puts communities, resources, knowledge and desires at the centre of any intervention. ASAP connects women and youth to their own power to identify challenges and create positive change towards poverty alleviation in their communities though community based agricultural projects that address food security, financial literacy and income generation.
