We've been quiet...BUT, we've been busy!
Thanks to generous donors, including a growing number of regular supporters, just shy of 800 goats have been purchased (or in a few cases will be in the next few days) since our return to Canada at the end of April.
That's 800 more families whose lives will change!
And many hundreds more families who each benefited from the money gained from the sale of a sheep thanks to sourcing locally.

THE BUCK STARTS HERE Micro-Finance Initiative launched with the CPNCK coffee-growers, advancing them payment on their coffee yield against future sale. This allows the farmers to buy their needed seeds for planting now as opposed to waiting for 2-3months. Any additional monies beyond the estimated sale price of the coffee will be split between the farmers.
"First, we congratulate you and thank you very much for respecting your word of honor. We are very proud of the partnership CPNCK-Guardian Project Initiative.
Please find attached the photos of coffee purchased Idjwi.
We purchased 10 tonnes of coffee and continue to buy. We will keep you informed of developments purchases coffee.
