VIDEO STORY: Empowering the Disabled | Innovative Grant Program Transforms Lives in Antigua and Barbuda

A $50,000 grant from the Job Empowerment Fund (JEF) is supporting a project in Antigua and Barbuda that helps disabled individuals acquire skills for self-sufficiency in food production.

The initiative focuses on sustainable farming and the use of smart technology to foster resilience in the community.

Bernard Warner, head of the local disability association, is optimistic about the progress, as participants have been trained over the past four years in these techniques.
