Dindigul, India Dairy Project

$37,020 USD
The Project
To train 80 villagers on everything needed to raise, feed and care for a lactating dairy cow through Ghandigram Agricultural College followed by each graduate receiving their own cow. Cows will be purchased from other villagers who have received micro-loans to purchase a cow in the past. Following the training graduates will meet twice monthly at Society for Serving Humanity meetings to share experiences. All trainees will be from the poorest of families, many being HIV positive, survivors of Polio, etc. The trainees must agree that when they receive their cow, they will use a minimum of 1 liter of milk per day for their own family and are then free to sell the rest. Each village will see to the success of the person they select to attend.
