In a statement, EWS said it signed a partnership agreement with Assisi Development Foundation, Inc. (ADFI) to develop vegetable gardens with 80 Mangyan Alangan families in Mindoro, as part of a six-month project which began in June.
Under the extension program, which is part of the Zero Extreme Poverty 2030 Philippines-Partnerhip for Indigenous People Project, EWS will provide training as well as a vermi-composting area and nursery while ADFI will provide agricultural kits.
