No Lean Season
A bus ticket out of poverty
What they do
Seasonal unemployment in rural agricultural areas leaves very poor families without income and leads to hunger during the lean season between planting and harvest.
The program provides a small travel subsidy to enable a household member to migrate temporarily to a nearby city for work during the lean season, increasing household income and food security.
Very poor rural agricultural households and laborers who need support to access temporary urban employment during the lean season.
