APROSADSE’s agroecology program in Guatemala has expanded to include 9 community groups, with each group consistently meeting twice a month. The following workshops have been conducted: agroecology, livestock rearing, business and livestock management skills, ecological latrines, and construction of wood-saving stoves.
The cow, pig, and chicken-raising projects are still flourishing thanks to vaccination and disease-management workshops. Projects range in size from a single woman raising two pigs, to a 7-family group with 1000 egg-laying chickens.
We need your continued support! The cow-raising project in Xetinamit has an estimated 18-month turnaround time. While the families involved have not experienced major financial gains, they are benefiting from the production of milk, cheese, fertilizer, and small sales to the local market.
By donating to APROSADSE you are ensuring more families can benefit from this program.
Thank you for your support.
