Income generation

DW supports the development of income generating activities, for example through training so that builders in West Africa learn Woodless Construction skills that they can then use in their community and on contracts further afield. In the case of Vietnam ensuring that people do not lose their means of production during disasters. In Burkina Faso and Viet Nam DW helps families to rebuild thier lives after disasters, focussing on actions that will have a long term benefit and that go beyond a return to the situation that existed before the disaster.
