Goats for Poor Farming Families in the Philippines

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your continuing support to our project providing goats to poor farming families. This reporting period we concentrated on providing high-valued fruit and timber tree seedlings and forage trees to 30 goat raisers in order to improve their farming systems as well as have direct access to forage feed for their goats. The problem of goat nutrition is being felt by goat raisers and the solution is for them to grow their own forage for their goats. The goat manure they can use in order to fertilize their crops therefore closing the nutrient cycle in their farms. 

Again, thank you very much for your generous support.

Very sincerely yours,

Cora

Dear Friends,

Greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project providing goats for poor farming families. We are indeed very happy to inform you that we are also providing farmers with seeds of highly nutritious grasses and farm equipment so that the farmers will be able to raise grasses to feed their animals. This is important because goats are ruminant and need grasses with high protein content in order to grow well. In some areas there is also the lack of grasses which is a cause of quarrel by goat raisers as the goats have the tendency to eat the plants of neighbors. This reporting period, we provided 20 farmers with 15 packets of different type of forage seeds with high protein content. Aside from the seeds we also provide them with iron farm implement so that they can easily plant the seeds.

Again thank you very much for your support.

Very sincerely yours,

Cora
