Due to its favourable soil and climatic conditions, agriculture and farming have traditionally been an important economic activity in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Before the 1992-1995 war, half of the population were engaged in sustainable rural employment and income earning. However, the war devastated this sector, and the extended period of transition stalled its recovery. Though, in recent years, some positive trends have been seen within this sector, particularly in vegetable production.
Muslim Aid Association in Bosnia and Herzegovina is committed to implementing sustainable livelihoods projects, providing long-lasting change for the communities we work with. Programmes work towards economically empowering people through the allocation of start-up packages, knowledge and skills training and improved value-addition across the production of vegetables in greenhouses, beekeeping and animal husbandry.
We are a faith-based British international charity that provides help to people who are victims of natural disasters or conflict or suffering from poverty, hunger, disease, homelessness, injustice, deprivation or lack of skills and economic opportunities.
