Earlier this year we reported on Maria Arcadia's livestock project. We told you how she expanded her livestock to sell more milk to her commmuunity. We're very happy to report that Maria Arcadia is now selling milk and cheese to neighboring communities!
Maria Arcadia lives in a very remote village where there are no local corner stores. Everyday she and her husband load up their pick-up truck with milk and cheese and travel to the surrounding hamlets to sell to other small communities that lack access to stores where they can purchase fresh dairy products. Not only does Maria Arcadia provide an important service to folks who lack resources but she also earns an income that allows her to provide for her four children and her grandchildren. It's a win-win for everyone!
Maria Arcadia is a leader in her community. She's smart, hardworking and a role model for other women in her small village. She is also grateful for the opportunities that she has been given that have allowed her to improve her standard of living and that of her family.
