Grannies begin construction!

The Grandmothers Support Group will begin construction on their refurbished poultry facility using locally-sourced organic materials to improve insulation within the building.  Jason worked with the Grandmothers weekly to strengthen their business plan and this project is now 100% self-sustaining.  Thank you again to those who supported their first purchase of chickens – they now raise 200 per month!  We now look forward to developing their water catchment system, collecting preciously scarce water in Lesotho.  The Grannies continue to provide home-based care within their community and as the primary caregivers for many of the chronically ill and elderly, they would like G.R.O. supporters to continue helping them with medical care kits.  Kit supplies can be sourced for $100 for two months of community care.    Future GRO development of this initiative include expansion to a secondary facility, and over the next 24-36 months, expansion into pig farming.
