Timor Aid working together with the local community in Suco Meligo Aldeia Liabote (Poegoa) facilitated the repairs to an irrigation canal with the intention to improve access to water and provide agricultural economic opportunities.

This project was equally supported by women and men from the community and helped to address food security of everyone in the area.
