Humana People to People India (HPPI) Rural Community Development Projects targets to address the problem of food security, while promoting sustainable farm-based livelihoods.

HPPI is working with the poor to turn around the environmental degradation cycle in rural communities, thus supporting biodiversity and promoting a model of pro-ecology rural development. This is done through promoting sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry in an integrated farm-based livelihood model, to improve efficiency in production systems, lower input costs, increase per capita output, and improve food and nutritional security at household level.

The key activities of the projects are: 

Rural Community Development: To enable holistic development of villages and its people, the projects focuses on improving livelihood, health, early childhood development, youth related activities, education, water & sanitation, environment, and strengthening grassroots institutions.  

Integrated Farm-based Development: Projects under this segment work together with rural farmers working with Self Help Groups and Farmers Clubs. The group members receive focused training on sustainable agricultural practices and animal husbandry to improve their productivity, income, and quality of life.    

Skills & Vocational Training: To promote non-farm livelihoods, skills and vocational training is established, where youth are trained on income generating and vocational skills like computer applications, tailoring, beautician, handicrafts, machine repair, among others. HPPI have also initiated skills courses on farm techniques for rural youth and interested farmers.
