Orphans Africa serves milk to the orphan students, to supplement their meals but Tanzania lacks large-scale milk producers and most milk comes from family farms. To meet student needs, we buy cows, which also provide calves for raising or sale. Building the herd takes time due to costs, and cow shelters need rebuilding. Long-term, we aim to use manure for bio-gas cooking to reduce firewood and coal use. Thank you for contributing to our milk cow program, supporting student nutrition and health.
Your ongoing support not only helps us sustain daily nourishment for the children but also empowers Orphans Africa to invest in the future of our schools. With each addition to our herd and improvements to our farming operations, we move closer to self-sufficiency and create opportunities for the students to learn valuable agricultural skills. Together, we are building a stronger, healthier community where every child has the chance to thrive.
