What We Do
1.
We grow and sell plantains, bananas, guayaba, pitahaya (dragon fruit),
and tilapia. This
provides jobs and income to help offset
expenses.
2. Through the
Sheep
Dreamzzz baby blanket project, women learn to knit and earn a
substantial income
3. We feed and spend time with elderly men and women during a healthy
breakfast that Sheep Not Goats organizes and funds every Thursday
morning
4. Within our community (Malpaisillo), we look for opportunities to enable access
to medical care, food, and other basic needs.
5. Everyone who works 30 hours or more is required to save 10% of
their salary, which they receive back with interest at the end of each
quarter. This has shown the workers that they
can save for the
future.
6. We engage wealthier individuals (most North Americans) in the work,
including through their tax-deductible donations. It is our
philosophy that people should work in order to receive. Only in
emergency situations, mostly medical, do we give money, and then we
ensure it is used for the stated purpose.
