Many Filipino teenage students who have not been able to finish their high school education because of poverty have enrolled in Goducate’s Alternative Learning System (ALS) courses in Laguna, Philippines. Some of them have also been taught to produce organic fertilizer for sale, using Goducate’s vermiculture system. The income from this provides their transportation fare to school.
Goducate provides the earth-worms (African night-crawlers) and the technical advice to these students. After one month, they are able to harvest first grade organic fertilizer which is readily sold. The income not only provides transportation fares for the students but also some surplus for their families!
This simple livelihood project provides are regular monthly income to these students.
vermiculture provides a sustained livelihood. truly another project tt help asians help themselves.
