Haiti 2007
An
Anamal Husbandry Project has already been introduced as part of
the Child Sponsorship Programme. 1/3 of the funding from the Child
Sponsorship has been allocated to help the families involved in
the Family Empowerment Programme. This money will help purchase
livestocks such as chickens and goats.
However with the introduction of this Internationally
funded Agro Project we would be looking at purchasing agricultural
grazing land and introduce the Barbadian Black Belly Sheep.
Chicken production is another area that we have
identified as a good revenue earning and more information will be
published soon
Part of the Child Sponsorship Programme
will be invested into the Family Empowement Programme.
How will we help to feed these children?
1. We will provide seed and tools needed to grow
food in family kitchen gardens
2. We will purchase goats and chickens to provide
a supply of dairy products and meat.

Pastor Rodrique (right) from
Restoration Ministries Haiti, is our UCT Haiti Representative,
working in association with Pastor Lafleur (centre), from
Restoration Ministries Antigua, will spear head this After
School Child Feeding Project. |
One option that UCT is researching is to utilize part
of the money from the Family Empowerment programme to fund the importation
of young chicks from Barbados into Haiti where Restoration Ministries
Haiti will establish a chicken business. This will be used to supply
the local families of the sponsored children with chickens for their
own home use and supply the poultry needed for the After
School Club Feeding Project.
The remaining money from the
Family Empowement Programme. will go towards purchasing two
young female goats per family or enabling them to establish
micro business such as street vendoring. |
|
The arrangement with the local families receiving the
kids is that when the nanny goats produce their first litter the first
kid will be brought back into the house of the Lord as a first fruit
offering. Enabling the church ot establish a goat farm to help with
the After School Feeding Programme.
