Thankful4 Farmers recently provided a grant to the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal to help fund the Networks to Build Drought Resilience and Drought Resilience Leaders Program, supporting remote, rural and regional communities to prepare for the impacts of drought.
The program will help people in agricultural communities to develop skills, participate in risk management planning, and foster projects that encourage connectedness and improve wellbeing.
It will also support small-scale infrastructure projects to make community facilities drought resilient to increase overall wellbeing and reduce social isolation.
We are working with the team at FRRR to develop measurement metrics to understand both short and long term impact of this initiative.
