OFFICE ADDRESS
The Center for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods (CSRL) helps small
landholder farmers in Kamuli District, Uganda to achieve food security,
improve household nutrition, and stabilize income through sustainable crop
and livestock production, access to marketing opportunities, school
gardens and lunch programs, and mother/child nutrition education centers.
CSRL also provides support for malnourished children, widows, and
families living with HIV/AIDS.
CSRL works with partners in the US and developing countries to improve
the livelihoods of rural people. Through learning and discovery, these
partners train community volunteers in practices that will alleviate food
insecurity and poverty. CSRL’s focus on improving the food security,
nutrition and health of the poor is rooted in the land-grant mission of Iowa
State University and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
