Milking cows were distributed to orphan families in Kunar province! On November 28 of this year, in the Noorgal district of Kunar province, 15 eligible orphan families received milking cows distributed by the Orphan Care Afghanistan Welfare Organization. This distribution was carried out in full coordination with the provincial Departments of Agriculture and Economy, and in the presence of district officials and community elders. Through a proper survey process, those orphan families were selected who met all the program requirements, and the cows were allocated to them through a transparent lottery process. The Milking cows distribution program of the Orphan Care Afghanistan Welfare Organization was launched in 2022. With this latest distribution, a total of 187 Milking cows have been provided to orphan families in need across various provinces of the country. The program is continuously evaluated and has so far delivered significant economic benefits to the supported families. All 15 cows were purchased transparently from the open market by the organization. The average cost of each cow is around 50,000 Afghanis. Each cow produces approximately 7 kilograms of milk per day, enabling the orphan families to consume fresh milk and also generate a daily income through its sale. The objective of this program is to help orphan households gradually achieve economic self-reliance and open the door to a dignified livelihood.
