Fondacio in Myanmar – Yangon – Green Pastures
Green Pastures
Empowering an entire village through education and livelihoods
Te Gyi Village, a small village near Shwebo in Mandalay, has low accessibility to electricity and water and villagers generally work as subsistence farmers or laborers in surrounding towns and villages. Given the poverty and poor education of the community, young people are not motivated to study. Moreover, their parents sometimes even chose that they start working or simply help around the house instead of pursuing further studies.
Martin is a member of Fondacio who cares passionately about his people, this community and especially the children, whom he got to know through his internship in the village. He established a goat-rearing social enterprise that funded the education of village children while providing additional income for goat-rearing families.
Goat raising – Five of the poorest families in the village were selected to raise goats, the income from the sale of the goats would be shared between the families and the education project. Martin regularly monitors the goats and oversees the quarterly vaccinations needed to keep the goats healthy.
Education – Martin organizes daily lessons for the children of the village and the children are enthusiastic about learning! Due to the education provided by Green Pastures, the young people are beginning to achieve success in state exams – never seen before – and to continue their higher education outside the village.
Green Pastures Continues To Innovate
More opportunities for income generation and more skills not only for children but also for their parents such as: brick making, soap making, mushroom growing, gardening, etc.
