“The JOY of the Journey” Project aims to develop a prosperous society by enhancing the community household income, through creating livelihood opportunities, institutional development and strengthening, community empowerment, combating human trafficking, and creation of a sustainable environment.
The communities of the proposed project area are extremely poor due to the topography, lack of economic opportunities, traditional practices, lack of market access, unsafe migration, lack of awareness, and lack of unity among the communities.
