Integrated Livestock & Economic Self-reliance
The Challenge
High costs of imported food and economic stagnation in rural parishes limit opportunities for families to achieve financial independence and nutritional security.
Our Programme
The Integrated Livestock Initiative provides families with livestock and the necessary training to build micro-enterprises, fostering long-term economic self-reliance.
The People
We partner with rural families, smallholder farmers, and local agricultural extension officers in underserved Jamaican parishes.
Key Activities
- Distributing starter livestock including goats, poultry, and pigs to selected families.
- Providing comprehensive veterinary care and animal husbandry training.
- Facilitating local market connections to help families sell their surplus produce.
