Friends,
Fama Diagne has dreams of a prosperous future. A member of the poultry cooperative in the community of Fass Koffe, Fama praises CREATE!’s hands-on approach to development and dedication to community participation. She hopes to one day “build a large chicken coop in my compound and sell chickens in local markets.”
Your continued support for CREATE! is generating sustainable livelihoods for rural women through poultry production in Senegal. Today, you can help other communities start their own poultry cooperatives. For today only, GlobalGiving is matching new contributions to this project! Please help communities in rural Senegal gain new skills and livelihoods through poultry production. With your generous donation, we can help other women like Fama achieve their dreams!
Since our last report in December, our poultry cooperatives in the villages of Fass Kane, Fass Koffe, and Ouarkhokh have continued to expand production and thrive due to your generous donations. The communities of Diender and Thieneba have also established their own poultry cooperatives and are just beginning their first round of poultry production. In February, CREATE! field technicians worked with cooperative members to build poultry sheds in both communities using hand-made cement bricks and other materials. Both cooperatives are excited to acquire the skills and supplies they needed to excel in this new economic opportunity.
CREATE!’s beneficiaries truly appreciate your donation to help them on their way to economic self-sufficiency! So what’s next? We would love to have you get more involved with CREATE! Send an email to kaitlyn@createaction.org and I will let you know all the different ways that you can help out! Be sure to stay updated with what’s going on with CREATE! by signing up for our email list, becoming our friend on Facebook, following us on Twitter, and checking out our blog!
Best wishes,
Kaitlyn Grigsby
