food to these people so these were dependently in been given out the food
without been thinking on their own way of fighting hunger ,just seating and
waiting the Aid ,then Action Aid decided to change the project by teaching the
pastoralist agricultural system to them
so they can produce there own food, so they came into groups in a selected
piece of land and the introduction of
different kind of agricultural systems, such as semi secular, tripe sidebar
etc. due to this program people became not dependent since that in order
