Corus organization Lutheran World Relief prepares young people for viable careers in agriculture through our youth programming.

🌟 Meet Bikram BK and Puspa Lohar from Western Nepal, who are committed to building a bright future for their daughter Shrisha, despite facing numerous challenges as members of the Dalit caste. In search of better opportunities, Bikram worked in India, seeing his family only a few times a year. But when COVID-19 struck, he returned home jobless. Thanks to Corus organization Lutheran World Relief, the family received training and supplies to start a poultry farm. 🐔 Today, Bikram and Puspa not only run a thriving farm but also uplift their community by sharing their knowledge. Neighbors visit to learn about poultry farming and animal care, helping to strengthen the entire community. 💪 Lutheran World Relief has been empowering communities in Nepal since 2009, focusing on agriculture, food security, health and resilience. 🌱 Learn more about Bikram and Puspa's journey: https://bit.ly/4fa7vzh #Nepal #Entrepreneurship #CommunityImpact #Resilience #Agriculture #PoultryFarming
