LEAP also provides post-harvest facilities and small infrastructure to their communities to help increase their income and improve their lives. Some 24,000 former MNLF combatants, (out of a target of 25,000) have received, or are currently receiving assistance, and are now sustainably producing corn, rice or seaweed.
