ANTIQUEANIMAL RAISINGAnimal raising is a small business activity that is encouraged and supported by the Filipino Children's Fund in a number of regions. Piggeries and other animal breeding programs (goats, ducks and cows) provide both a continuing source of food and income for participating children and their families, as well as afford children opportunities to acquire basic knowledge and skills for future livelihood sustainability and future business type initiatives.
With funds provided by the FCF, loans
were
made to
the families of participating children through the Katin-aran Center
for the purchase of animals and feed. The young animals were raised by
the children of one or more families. When mature, the animals were
used for milking, sold or propagated by the families with a portion of
sales returned to
the Center in repayment of the original loan. Repayments were used to
purchase equipment, supplies and livestock and to initiate other
families.
Thus, the initial FCF contribution was reinvested annually in the local
community in order to perpetuate the program.
