The village of La Danta is a group of houses inhabited by about 20 families who sustain themselves by growing small plots of corn and beans. Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) has provided families in the area with support to improve both agricultural production and family nutrition. At the end of 2002, a group of 10 women from the area recognized that due to bad road conditions, people selling bread rarely traveled to their community. They asked SHI's local extension worker to train them to make local materials into bread. SHI agreed to help them and contacted the National Institute for Professional Formation (NIPF). The NIPF provided the instruction, and SHI trained 10 local women to run their own small bread business. In this photo, women check on their bread in the oven.
