Help me fund a community livelihood for garbage dump dweller

Hello everyone,

I started growing oyster mushrooms during the pandemic, which has been a great source of income for me and my family during these challenging times.

When I observe the dwellers living in one of the garbage dumps in Cebu, I see how they rely on collecting and selling garbage in exchange for a small amount of money. Unfortunately, this income is not sufficient to meet the needs of their families.

I am considering teaching the dwellers in the garbage dumps of Cebu how to cultivate oyster mushrooms and assist them in establishing a sustainable livelihood.

If I can receive assistance in acquiring substrates, equipment like drums, and spawns, it would greatly benefit them and potentially provide an opportunity to improve their living conditions.

With the funds I obtain, our plan is to purchase the necessary substrates and materials for mushroom cultivation. Additionally, we hope to allocate enough resources to construct a suitable growing house for them. Once everything is in place, I can provide them with comprehensive training on mushroom cultivation and oversee their work until they become proficient enough to manage the process independently. Furthermore, I intend to assist them with marketing and sales of their mushroom products.

By empowering them with the knowledge and resources to grow oyster mushrooms, we can help these dwellers create a sustainable source of income and potentially enhance their overall well-being.

I would be happy if you could use the [Help by sharing] button to share about my project!
