- To conduct a survey to find a means of getting any food supplement that is owned by the organization. Poultry farming and sheep rearing were among the suggested areas b y the board with the expectation of being a means of providing food and food supplements to the girls. A survey was conducted by the team through the office of Kole District Veterinary Officer, District Agricultural Officer and other development partners in the relevant fields in Kole District.
