Self Help Project
Completion Report - Project from the St. Mary's Conference, Thekkemala,
Kanjirapally, India.
The project's aim was to provide
several families with the opportunity to earn additional income through cow
rearing (6 families). The families
did not have the resources to fund these themselves.
The support of
several Conferences (Edwardstown, Glenelg, Blackwood, Col Lt Gdns, Brighton)
amounted to around 72% of the final cost of the project, with the balance of
the cost coming from local Vincentians.
The project was a most worthwhile initiative, because it evolved from the needs of a poor community and it increases the economic viability and health of the whole community.
