Rural Development


He Wen, Director, Rural Development Division

Amity encourages the use of local resources and initiatives to promote projects that meet basic needs and assist self development. In many remote villages, water shortages have resulted in poverty for many generations. Amity cooperates in building water pumping stations and digging wells. In other areas, fuel resources are scarce and natural fertilizers have been ravaged in the search for fuel. Amity helps build biogas systems to improve living standards, address the effects of ecological destruction, and relieve women of time consuming labor. Amity supports programs for women to strengthen their position in the village and strives to provide children with access to schooling. Its development approach in local communities looks towards a balance between nature and human society.
