Methodolgy and Impact

Methodology for Project Nandi: 

Project Nandi empowers low-income families by providing them with dairy cows, enabling them to generate income and improve their nutrition. We will begin by identifying the most vulnerable families in rural areas through community partnerships and needs assessments. Priority will be given to households with young children to maximize the nutritional impact.

We will procure healthy, high-yield dairy cows from trusted local suppliers, ensuring that the cows are well-suited to the local climate. Along with the cows, we will provide initial feed and veterinary check-ups to support a smooth transition for the families.

To equip the beneficiaries with essential skills, we will offer comprehensive training programs covering animal husbandry, dairy production, marketing techniques, and financial literacy. This training will ensure that families can care for their cows, maximize milk production, and effectively sell dairy products for sustainable income. We will also provide regular mentorship and support throughout the first year to help address any challenges and enhance productivity. 

Additionally, we will promote community engagement by encouraging beneficiaries to share their knowledge and experiences, fostering a supportive network.

Measuring Impact and Success

We will measure the project's impact using clear metrics, including increased household income, improved nutrition, and community empowerment. Baseline surveys will be conducted before cow distribution, followed by quarterly assessments to track progress. We will also collect qualitative data through interviews and feedback sessions to better understand the beneficiaries' experiences and challenges. This data iwill be analyzed and shared through annual impact reports to maintain transparency and accountability.

By reinvesting income and forming community cooperatives, Project Nandi will ensure long-term sustainability and scalability, empowering families to achieve economic independence and break the cycle of poverty.
