Help In Agriculture
|
|
Agriculture is a vital component of
any national, regional or local economy. Farmers in developing countries often face
tremendous challenges due to lack of modern equipment, limited acreage, scarce resources
and periodic natural disasters from which protection is lacking. Saba Trust seeks
to help modernize the materials, tools and methods available to farmers, thereby
improving their livelihoods as well as increasing the quality and diversity of the
food supply for the population at large. |

Success Story: Br.
Nadeem and Br. Faiz took it upon themselves to help a hard-working farming family.
They loaned them Rs 100,000 to modernize their farming methods. The family decided
to grow certain crops as part of their new approach, and upon harvesting they found
their income doubled. Within a year they paid off their loan and bought new farming
equipment. The family members are now considered extremely successful farmers in
that village.

Honey Bee Farm
|
|
Saba Trust has assisted a number of honey cultivators to establish successful businesses. Honey bee farms require special
attention, dedication, and suitable equipment. Bee hives are maintained in special
crates that each contain 10 honey combs that
give 1.5 kg. of honey every few days.
The honey bee farmers
maintain numerous hives and sell the honey as a valuable sweetener.
