2/3 In these communities, ultra-poverty is shaped by overlapping barriers that reinforce one another. Limited income, low agricultural productivity, poor access to services, and few financial tools make it harder for households to respond to shocks or plan for the future.

A partner community member in Kanungu digs a #water control trench in her garden. These trenches help trap rainwater, allowing it to soak into the soil instead of running off. This low-cost practice helps reduce #soil erosion and strengthen crop growth during dry periods.
