SATEC (Sustainable Agricultural Technicians) NGO

When the Tubah people realized that their watershed was very important, 4 fons came together and decided to protect it. Bearing this in mind, 6 youths were identified from each community and soliciting assistance from a Swiss association of international corporation (HELVETAS). They were trained in watershed management. After the trainings, four different organizations were formed in each of the community. In 2001, this gave rise to SATEC. Responsible person in SATEC is Vunan Ernest Amohlon, who is trained in beefarming, agroforestry practices, gardening, tree nursery establishment and forest monitoring.
