Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our initiative providing support for agro-reforestation efforts led by women. Agroforestry is an approach to poverty amelioration in rural areas and the beauty of this system is that with multiple farming inputs, income and benefits are derived early on not like when pure tree planting program is implemented and the uptake by farmers is very low. Realizing the need for draft or work animals, we initiated the provision of work animals mainly water buffaloes to women farmers and their families. Draft animals is very important because the animal offer multiple benefits not just to asssist in farm work but also to carry heavy load such as water, among others. The animals are also easy to raise and the females produce offspring which is income for the farmers. During this reporting period we are able to provide 7 work animals to 7 women farmers and hoping to increase the number of animals in the coming days. Hoping for your continuing support to us.
Very sincerely yours,
Michelle Frances Uy
