St. Mary's Zambian Youth Dairy Project

ZAMBIA St. Mary’s Youth Dairy Project
21-0118-02

The project is located in the Monze district, in the southern province. St. Mary’s area is characterized by large families, high unemployment rates and poor household food security. Members of the group are youth organized by the Catholic Monze Diocese to encourage positive behavior. Some 15 youths were initially assisted with dairy cattle in 2000. Heifer Zambia will provide an additional 40 high-producing dairy heifers to an additional 20 youths, to increase income levels through the sale of excess milk and improve household food security.

This project is sponsored by Dr. Linda Satterlee.
