Rice Bank $150
A rice bank, including training in its management, to help ensure a secure supply of staple grains year-round. When a family has a surplus of rice, they 'deposit' some in the rice bank, and when there is a shortage between harvests, they can 'withdraw' or take out a 'loan'.
Burma, Cambodia, India, Laos
