GSP: Tomato Conservation Training
In July and August, Ian Booth worked with HCN counterparts and fellow PCVs in four different villages to train groups of women on how to store tomatoes in jars. The main goal was to equip women with the knowledge necessary to jar tomatoes either for sale or for home use during the dry season. With a relatively small input of funds, Ian and his partners were able to implement a hands-on training that was simple, efficient, and focused entirely on skills transfer.
Ian hopes that some women will put this skill to use to develop small businesses in their respective villages.
