Carabao center joins milk feeding program for malnourished children
THE Philippine Carabao Center (PCC) said it entered into partnerships to provide milk to malnourished children in Nueva Ecija.
In a statement, the PCC said it signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries (PCAF) and the Nueva Ecija Federation of Dairy Carabao Cooperatives.
The milk feeding program will cover selected barangays in Talavera, Nueva Ecija. The expected beneficiaries number 46 and are aged between three and five years.
The program’s other objective is to ensure that dairy farmers generate stable income.
The PCAF has procured P100,000 worth of carabao milk for use in the milk feeding program, which will run for three months starting June 1. — Revin Mikhael D. Ochave
