About PALM2

Transforming lives in the Blue Mountains

Vision & Mission

The VISION of PALM is: to enhance poverty reduction of marginalized families towards a respectable standard of living and towards an improved and balanced eco system.

Our MISSION involves social mobilization and training, developing lands for improved food production, and implementing educational and environmental management programs. We focus on equality, transparency, and building strong partnerships with local communities.

Where We Work

The main crops in our area are tea, coffee, and spices grown on large plantations. The small and marginal farmer, who grows vegetables, bananas, spices, tapioca, and other mixed crops, is living in small villages around the plantations. The tribals live in small hamlets isolated from other communities.
