This project has addressed the goal/objective of empowering families with the tools and skills needed to develop economically-viable and ecologically-sound agricultural enterprises:
Since project implementation, Heifer China has assisted 434 families in the target villages of Weichang County. From this, 211 original families have received beef cattle and another 34 families received cattle through POG.
The remaining families have been assisted through technical training and SHG formation. Project families better understand the connection between hygiene and human health, and are passing on this knowledge within their communities.
Education and public services have improved as villagers attend Heifer trainings. During this reporting period, eight trainings on cultivation and planting technology were provided for 687 participants. The topics included fodder nutrition, organic fertilizer and herb planting. Villagers have also applied training on common cattle diseases to improve animal welfare.
