Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project helping displaced families resulting from the destruction of Marawi City. At present the situation is still dire with civilians still in evacuation centers and most staying with their relatives. In order to assist them, we designed an initiative of engaging a local producer cooperative managed by women to farm a 10-acre farm and plant this with a variety of vegetables, root crops and legumes for processing into ready-to-eat powdered food to be packaged in sachets. We are in discussion with a local food innovation center based in a university here that will be able to process the different vegetable products. We are aiming to process and distribute processed squash, sweet potato, taro, ladys finger, cucumber and mongo.
Developing the vegetable farm will take a few months but this is the only way we can effectively assist those affected by the Marawi crisis and other impending disaster coming to our area especially extreme weather disturbances that is happening of greater frequency.
Again thank you very much for your generous support.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
