Inauguration Day of Tacloban Livelihood Program
In collaboration with the Tacloban City Government the Mission has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement that has given the Mission access to a property of 50.000 m2 to be used for forage and grazing land for goats. The project as such is basically a Goat distribution project to needy families. It also envisions that in the long run both the families and the project will be self-sustainable.
One of the leading ideas is to improve the native goat breed by cross breeding local goats with Anglo Nubien goats. An ideal breed of 75% Anglo Nubien and 25% local will give a goat that is:
- Adaptive/resistant to the local climate, hot and humid.
- Larger size of goat
- More meat – at time of slaughter
- More milk when milking
