Goats for Poor Farming Families in the Philippines

Dear Friend,

Good day and thank you very much for your donation to our project providing goats to poor farming families. We continue to implement this project as we found out that goats provide multiple benefits to farmers. Goats are prolific and easy to raise. They are cheap to raise too with forage grasses as their main feed. Your support to this project is crucial as we try to secure upgraded goats in order to improve our current breeds. The main problem we encounter is the low bloodline of our goats ad we need to improve this in order to get more meat and milk from the herd. We also try our best to provide them nutritious feeds ad we are promoting the growing of azolla during this reporting period. We are happy to report that we are successful in this manner and we will provide farmers with azolla planting materials and technical advice. Hoping that you will continue to support this project.

Very sincerely yours,

Cora Sayre

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your support to our project providing goats to poor farm families. Goats are important addition to farm resources as they are easy to raise and they are always in demand in the market. There are a lot of improvements that needs to be done in terms of the goat industry for small farms mainly because of the lack of knowledge of farmers. The practice of in-breeding among the goats is very common and this needs to be changed. Also the perennial lack of forage grasses where goats can feed is always lacking. There is a need to introduce forage grasses with high nutritive value for the goats and we are doing this service to farmers. We access high-quality seeds and grow and multiply them in our training farm. This reporting period we are able to clear 1 hectare of land and prepare this for the coming rainy months to be planted with forage crops. Hoping that you will continue to support us. Thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Cora Sayre
