About The Project

$570 needed to purchase sheep and livestock supplies
$100 contributed by Fred towards his project


Fred used an initial investment to buy sheep. He saved some money for medication and feed for the animals. With future investments he would like to add to his sheep flock. The manure from the animals will be used as organic fertilizer to increase crop yields and thus his income.



Paying it Forward

Fred participates in communal work of establishing and improving local roads. He and his neighbors work together to spray their crops for pests.

Backstory

Fred and his wife have four children. Two children are in school. He operates a boda boda (motorbike) taxi service. His family’s goals are to improve on their crop production (Irish potatoes, beans and fruits) and to eat a healthier diet with more vegetables, thus was born the sheep business. He would like to raise some chickens for eggs to add to the family diet. He is proud of his participation in this project as he has been able to start his sheep business and clear some debt. He promotes the importance of the national park and what it can do for his community, with the hope the government will improve the roads for easier transport of goods and services.
