Mindanao Sanitation and Food Security Project

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your donation to our project promoting sanitation and food security. This reporting period we are focusing our work on the food security aspect of this project as this is most needed especially in remote areas where food is becoming scarce. Agriculture production is not doing well and there is a need to find alternative means of securing food. Vegetable gardening remains the choice of farmers but we are exploring other sources like raising of fish in small fishpond, providing value added to forest products such as rattan and bamboo, handicrafts, among others. This reporting period we are doing assessment and listing of what more could be done with the view of rallying support when local farmers have their choice already. We surmise that most of their choices will revolve around small-scale food production ventures as capital for this is low. We were able to conduct 2 assessment sessions during this period. Hoping for your continued support.

Very sincerely yours,

Cesario Sayre

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your generous support to our initiative providing sanitation and food security for poor communities in Mindanao. We are indeed very thankful for local and your support with this project going smoothly and we are able to assist many individuals badly needing help. During this reporting period we continue to provide for vegetable seeds as well as hygiene supply for families affected by climate change. We are focusing help in areas near our project base with a total of 120 individuals we were able to assist. Our vegetable seed supply comes from our partner seed producing farms and in so doing we are able to sustain our own production and supply chain. Sometimes seeds are difficult to procure in the market and this is one way to provide for those needing seeds. Again thank you so much and hoping for your continuing assistance.

Very sincerely yours,

Cesario Sayre
