When they receive livestock, the produce is efficiently utilized to benefit the entire family. Women feel empowered in national development when they receive livestock,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n<p>Seminega expressed optimism that beneficiaries will take good care of received cows as they have made it a habit in coffee farming.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cApart from providing compost used to increase coffee yields, a cow helps families to grow income. These cows will be milked to improve nutrition and help farmers obtain compost to fertilize coffee plantations. Besides, beneficiaries can also sell milk and offspring to earn a living,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n<p>Nyamasheke district vice mayor in charge of economic affairs, Joseph D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Muhayeyezu thanked C Dormans for contribution to national development and urged beneficiaries to take care of cows and pass heifers to other members of the community.   <\/p>\n<p>The excited beneficiaries also pledged raise them properly and use compost to increase coffee yields.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very delighted with the donation and thank Dormans for this great gesture.  The cow will help my family to improve livelihoods and pass offspring to change neighbors\u2019 lives too,\u201d said Bernadette Uwitonze.    <\/p>\n<p>Furaha Nyiransabayezu, is another beneficiary who used to harvest 1600 kilograms of coffee.
