Organic Vegetable Garden
Peaksneng Thormacehat Shop (PTS) works with families to build FAITH Organic Vegetable Gardens. The gardens provide a continuous supply of fresh, organic, vegetables throughout the year. The PTS team builds gardens alongside families and contributes start-up inputs like compost, foliar sprays, and seedlings. The team also makes mentor visits to family gardens to encourage best-practices. As families become self-reliant, PTS reduces their assistance and focuses on helping new families.

International Program Mentoring
PTS Program Manager Rey Diaz acts as a consultant for all of Better Lives’ partners involved in agricultural. His expertise has allowed the program to spread to four countries in Asia and Africa and he continues to provide trouble-shooting and continuous improvement advice.
