Mr. Mangal Bahadur Chepang, a 23-year-old farmer from the marginalized Chepang community in Ichchhakamana Rural Municipality, has become an inspiring example of how sustainable farming can transform lives. With the support of the Rain Communities project by SVSI, he accessed high-quality seeds that ensured a strong start to his farming season. By adopting organic practices like Jholmol, a natural bio-fertilizer, he improved soil health and produced chemical-free crops, leading to a healthy and sustainable yield. Now, as he looks forward to securing better market opportunities for his organic produce, his success highlights the potential of eco-friendly agriculture in empowering small-scale farmers. His journey not only improves his family’s livelihood but also serves as a model for other marginalized farmers, proving that with the right resources and techniques, sustainable farming can pave the way for economic stability and long-term growth.
