Goats for Poor Farming Families in the Philippines

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project providing goats to poor farming families. We have proven time and again that this initiative is really effective in helping poor farmers because goats are easy to raise they do not require food that we need to purchase as they are ruminants and eat grasses and their market demand is high. During this reporting period we are able to re-stock our multiplier farm as one of the problems in goat farming is the availability of upgraded stocks. We have a preponderance of native blood lines and the need to upgrade them is important. We were able to acquire some upgraded stocks and we will use this in order to breed goats farmed by our beneficiaries. Hoping for your continuing support.

Very sincerely yours,

Cora

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generosity in supporting our initiative to provide goats to poor farming families. Goat raising is a lucrative business and this has been proven to be true during this Coronavirus pandemic. With very little food in the table, farmers resort to butchering their goats for the meat or selling them in the market. Goat meat is favored over other meat because it has less fat and is believed to be healthy. This reporting period, we provided our goat raisers with vegetable seeds in order to support their backyard home gardening to increase nutrition in the household. Aside from the vegetables we encouraged them to also plant forage for their goats. In so doing we provided multiple support and benefits to them. We are able to support 72 farmers in this manner. Hoping for your continuing generosity and support.

Very sincerely yours,

Cora Sayre
