On February 9th, the KPP monitoring team for the Animal Breeding Program visited the village of Chariole( Kayiba) in the commune of Port-a-Piment to inspect the cows in the program. This visit also provided an opportunity to meet with the keepers and assess their needs.
The program started in 2022 with nine (9) cows, but despite a few minor setbacks, the herd has grown to thirteen (13). One (1) cow is pregnant, while five (5) cows have already given birth. Five (5) of the cows are generating enough milk to support the keepers’ families and relatives. Any extra milk will likely be sold by the keepers. All cows are in good health.
The monitoring team consists of Exces Paul the lead monitor; Anel Salvador, the veterinary technician; and Feres Hyppolite, the monitor assistant. During the visit, the veterinarian provided essential guidance to the keepers and ensured the cows received proper care. The monitoring team will stay closely connected with the keepers, oversee the cows progress and identify future beneficiaries.
