The association Élevages sans frontières is mobilizing for food security and the autonomy of peasant families in West Africa, Haiti and Morocco.
The association supports and trains vulnerable breeders for whom the development of family breeding improves their income, diversifies their activities, mitigates economic and climatic risks and varies the diet of children and families.
To cope with climatic hazards and more recently the health crisis, but also to competition from imported powdered milk, Élevages sans frontières is launching the “Voie Lactée” (Milky Way) project in Burkina Faso, a low-income country with fragile natural resources, where 80% of the active population works in the agricultural sector.
Its objective is to help Burkinabè women to acquire autonomy through the production and sale of local milk, and this according to the principle of microcredit “Who receives… gives”!
Each family that receives animals pledges to donate animals born from breeding to another family and thus increases the impact of your donations.
