Education for rural farmers




Education is one of the most important factors for the continual personal and community development. But this idea seems a strange one for the villagers in the rural area. Most of these villagers never go to school. and it is rare that they can read or write a bit. They only learn from their ancestors how to teach farming for a living for the family and their offsprings. Therefore as parents they become helpless and at a loss most of the times when facing the education of their children during their growth period. 

Several villages discussed how to improve their financial and community life through the joint development of a credit union. They decided to start doing themselves first by persistently study together for 2 hours every month. Hopefully they can change the fortune of themselves and their next generation.
