GOAT Project
Somebody once named a project "the gift that keeps on giving". I am not for sure what the original intent was, but I am sure that I have found the ideal "gift that keeps on giving!" Goats. Yes, Goats! I have totally modified our goat operation where we will maintain 100 crossbred female (nanny) goats and have several pure bred male goats to service the herd. The breeding stock will remain with the foundation and the female offspring, once grown and bred, will be given to poor families.

Programs in the Payatas region
The Payatas is a landfill area in one of the most depressed areas of Metro-Manila. There are over 1000 families who exist by scavenging through refuse. The average income is $15-$20 per month. So children begin scavenging at the tender age of five. These precious children live in deplorable conditions adjacent to Metro-Manila's largest landfill. Few attend school. We have three projects in the Payatas region.

Caubian Island
The biggest challenge that the foundation faces is on the tiny island of Caubian. Caubian has a land area of 6.5 acres and is home to almost 3,000 people, of which 40% are children. There is no potable water source nor electricity. Sanitation and health care facilities are almost nonexistent. Infant and child mortality are extremely high. Families exist through fishing and monthly income per family is about $15.00/month.

Children's Nutrition Program/Feeding Program
The most debilitating handicap of these children is poverty. All are moderately to severely malnourished. The feeding and nutrition program for 1000 children (ages 2-7) will begin in January 2006. All it takes is $11.10 per child to help feed them for a year.

Cottage Industries Program
The most pressing need for the residents of these villages is to generate income. Residents of each village have remarkable skills which are unique to their tribal background. Our goal is to provide startup capital to develop and market the products. Some of the products include brooms, decorative mats, jewelry, herbal medicines and clothing. We will also provide funds for selected families to raise goats, swine, and poultry. One half of the offspring will be utilized for food; the other half will be distributed to other families.
