Satisfied childhood for rural children

5 km to school on foot… And the same to get home. Meals at school are poor, because school doesn’t have enough money… But there is not much at home anyway… And when homework is done, she would not go playing with friends, but work in the garden, taking care of hens and ducks. Every day is the same. Little girl is only 9. Most of the children from distant border villages of Sarata region spend their childhood like this.

Almost every family having its own cow, is forced to sell milk to resellers at unreasonably low price keeping no milk for their children. Parents need to save money to buy at least some cloth for their kids…

Today we can solve at least some of these problems: the community of Starosillia village united into a non-profit agricultural service cooperative “Budzhak”. The coop with all the villagers, created a milk processing center, which can guarantee sufficient prices for milk for small producers – at least 300 rural families. Thus it will provide milk to about 1000 of children from 5 schools and 5 kindergartens in Sarata region.

To launch this center and to give children a chance to drink fresh and natural milk, the cooperative needs to purchase Milk Quality Analyzers.

Please, help! Support their hard work and their sustainable food and income security initiative, so they would be able to provide all these children with high quality milk products on a regular basis!
