DESTITUTE MOTHER CHILD ORGANIZATION​


Bishop Eliud Okiring

WHAT WE DO

Destitute women and HIV and AIDS widows are grouped in tens by the organization and encouraged to identify small sustainable income generating projects ranging from poultry farming, dairy, grinding mills etc. Due to limited financial abilities, they focused on Agri-business which involves farming with commercial purpose. They have supported 105 families through basic agricultural support. They also provide farm inputs such as seeds, farm implements, advisory services, fertilizers, commercial knowledge for marketing, accounting and banking knowledge. These will facilitate sustenance of the families.
