More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
The beneficiaries are sixty families who need to be licensed by the National Animal Health Organization. In order to achieve this, these low income farmers need to comply with the sanitary and structural requirements of the NAHO. Licenses will enable them to deliver goat milk to a local factory and expand their market. The beneficiaries suffer from structural poverty. The majority of them are officially unemployed and have low level of education, poor housing and lack of health services.
Activities
Installation of technological innovations such as cooling systems to preserve the quality of the milk. Financial aid to acquire milking equipment and improve the infrastructure. Technological training. Advice to comply with sanitary requirements.

Project Message
“Before, we only destined the milk we produced for self-supply, but now it has become the main source of income for my family so we need to improve our production”
