We will purchase a compact, heavy-duty meat-grinder for marginalized women farmers in order to add value to the small animals like goats, pigs and chicken that they are raising thereby providing them stable and improved income.
Women farmers traditionally raise small animals like chicken, pigs and goats for their livelihood and the animals roam around the backyard. These animals are sold for income however with the Coronavirus pandemic, sales is very low with small restaurants closed down due to social distancing rules. With a meat grinder, women will be able to process their meat products and sell to their neighbors for added value. This will mean improvement of their well-being as well as that of their families.
With a heavy-duty meat-grinder, women will be able to process their meat products more efficiently compared to when they will be using only their hands on a manual basis. This will mean tremendous improvement in their incomes and well-being.
Improving the economic situation of women and girls by they themselves producing products for sale in the market during this trying times or reviving affected small-time businesses will ease the economic hardship that they are facing and eventually will result to communities surviving the pandemic.
