	D-1217    Indonesia - Yogyakarta Farmer Training & Microcredit $15,500 Provide training and initial working capital for 15 groups of 4 students (each a child of poor farmers) to allow transition from single crop, subsistence rice farming to multi-culture farming (rice, fruit, poultry, goats, rabbits, fish, etc.) using high-yield organic farming techniques. A local partner will provide simple housing and 0.25 acre of land for each student. Previous pilot projects have shown that a farmer and his family can live self-sufficiently from such a parcel of land, increase income from such a parcel by 600% over a 2 year period, and provide an opportunity to increase their productive assets to emerge from the cycle of poverty. Loans to buy seeds and animals for the initial groups will be paid back to create a revolving fund to assist and train other groups of students.
