Herbal tea production
Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project providing food, livelihood and nutrition support to poor women. We are happy to announce that during this reporting period we are able to engage a local women's association to produce herbal products made of local herbs in tea form. The process is simple and consist of air drying the newly harvested leaves, grinding them and placing them in tea bags. We order the blank tea bags on line. The power of this initiative is that the local materials are readily available and cheap and the tea last long. The tea has also many benefits. Hoping that with your continuing support we are able to expand this initiative to include additional women's association in a replication process.
Very sincerely yours,
Michelle Frances Uy

Preparing food packs
Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your kindness and generosity in supporting our project providing food, livelihood and nutrition support for disadvantaged women and girls. This reporting period is particularly challenging because of the ill-effects of the Coronavirus pandemic into the lives of poor communities. We are hoping that there will finally be a solution and cure to the virus and that communities can re-start their normal lives. Thanks to donors and supporters, we are able to provide food packs to 720 women and their families in 2 villages. Aside from the food packs comprising well-loved Filipino menu, we also provided them with vegetable seeds in order for the families to start small backyard gardening activities. This is aimed at increasing their sources of nutrittious food and added income when they sell the surplus.
Hoping for your continuing support. Thank you so much.
Very sincerely yours,
Michelle Frances

Dear Friend,
Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project providing livelihood and nutrition support for women. This time is precarious for poor hoseholds as climate change and the proliferation of virulent virus such as the recent Coronavirus will impact in a hard way local communities with very little coping mechanisms. This reporting period, we are able to initiate the organization of women farmers and housewives to grow and process dragon fruit plants. The plants grow very well and there are a lot of open farmlands that can be devoted to its production. The products are endless, from fresh fruits to soap, candies, jams and wine. The women's association will focus on the processing of various products for the marketand our next step will be to assist in the registering of their association so that they will have a legal personality, accessing support from partners and then start processing the products for value adding. We will provide additional updates in succeeding reports about their progress.
Very sincerely yours,
Michelle Frances
