Climate change greatly impacts the lives of people in coastal areas of the country.
The climate change aspect through the Adventist Development and Relief Agency will empower communities to participate in activities that will reduce the impact of climate change and develop different coping strategies to address the issue.
The Project will build community resilience, allowing the community to re-learn indigenous disaster alerts (Conch shells and drums) and include drought tolerant crops and seed multiplication as part of food security.
The project will also protect coastal villages and their crops from storm surges and king tides by building sea wall barriers out of a new strengthened bamboo.
