The Vision From Evariste

Evariste (pronounced like Everest) has a vision.   A vision not just for Burundi but for all of Central Africa.  He believes that Central Africa (CA) can be the driver of a stable and developed Africa. This vision is a vision of a self supporting CA that feeds all of Africa from the rich lands of the Congo, Rwanda and Burundi.

Evariste is on the left, Simon in the middle. This is near Evariste's home and the spot where he received his vision and idea!

This vision has started with 120 imported cows, owned, fed and cared for by independent families.  These cows are producing 10-15 liters of milk per day from an elephant grass diet.  Evariste and Milk for Transformation are supporting families to import and finance these Fresian cows and then teaching buying, processing and distributing excess milk from these cows, which now number 300 (1 calf per year on average).

This is a simple idea that is working, that is feeding and that is empowering exponentially.  I saw this yesterday and spent time listening to Evariste both about this Milk For Transformation project and his greater vision for Burundi and CA.  Your donations to GLO are providing financing for this plan. Your prayers will support this vision.  He asks that we never give up on CA as a lost cause as there is great potential here as the poor are given hope through basic empowerment.  This must be believed and then supported!  I do believe now.
