\u201cIn April 2019, a flash flood struck Bangga Village [Indonesia],\u201d shared Agusman, a 50-year-old father and horticulture farmer. \u201cOne of the severely affected areas was my home and farmland, which forced me to relocate and find a new place to live.\u201d<\/p>

Agusman was determined to make use of the land where his house once stood, deciding to join ADRA\u2019s Field School program through the REAF II Project.<\/p>

At first, the idea seemed impossible. The land where his home once stood was sandy, unstable, and stripped of nutrients. But when ADRA arrived to support families recovering from the flood, they saw not only destruction, but potential.<\/p>

Through ADRA\u2019s REAF II Project, part of the organization\u2019s long-term recovery and emergency response initiative, farmers like Agusman received the training, tools, and encouragement needed to rebuild their livelihoods. ADRA\u2019s Field School helped participants learn sustainable agricultural methods suited to post-disaster conditions\u2014techniques that could restore productivity to damaged soil and secure food for families still reeling from loss.<\/p>

From barren ground, new life began to grow. Within a season, Agusman harvested up to 400 kilograms of vegetables from what was once a disaster zone. Encouraged by the success, he expanded his efforts, planting 5,000 chili plants on a larger plot of land, utilizing the same techniques he had learned through ADRA\u2019s emergency recovery training.<\/p>

\u201cI would like to thank ADRA,\u201d he says with pride. \u201cThe Field School activities I participated in have been very beneficial for me in developing my work in agriculture. I\u2019ve been able to increase my family\u2019s income.\u201d<\/p>

What began as an emergency response has grown into a story of renewal and resilience. In Bangga Village, the soil that once symbolized loss now represents hope, proof that even after disaster, recovery can take root.<\/p>

\n\u201cDetermination alone could not feed a family of four children… all uprooted by conflict,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

That began to change in March 2025, when ADRA Yemen and its partners introduced household hydroponic gardens to vulnerable families in the village. Using simple greenhouse structures, piping, and nutrient-rich water, hydroponics enables the growth of vegetables without soil and with minimal water usage. It\u2019s a solution perfectly suited for Yemen\u2019s harsh climate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":291653,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_theme","format":"standard","meta":{"wds_primary_category":19,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61,19],"tags":[159,145,103],"class_list":["post-320985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-releases","category-stories","tag-emergency","tag-news-and-stories","tag-philippines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/adra.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320985","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/adra.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/adra.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=320985"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/adra.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320985\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/291653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/adra.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320985"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=320985"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adra.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=320985"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
