Friends,
“We have learned many skills that we can use throughout life.” Aissata, a mother of five living in Fass Kane, participates in both the gardening and poultry cooperatives in her community. To fight poverty in her home and in Fass Kane, Aissata is applying the knowledge she learned from CREATE! to expand sustainable gardening and chicken production in her village.
Your continued support for CREATE! is generating sustainable livelihoods for rural women through poultry production in Senegal. Since our last report in March, our five poultry cooperatives have continued to expand production and thrive thanks to your generous donations. Although Senegal is currently experiencing dry weather and extreme heat, diligent cooperative members visit their chicken coops multiple times each day to care for the growing chicks. Chickens are mature and ready for sale in local markets after 45 days of production.
Your help is still needed! Your generosity can help other communities start their own poultry cooperatives. Please help villages in rural Senegal gain new skills and livelihoods through poultry production. With your generous donation, we can help other women like Aissata achieve their dreams!
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
