What People Say

Buffalo loan project has changed the lives of Tallo Nallu people. Before the inception of this project, people were forced to take high interest loans or not do animal rearing. Then alcohol production was done for income generation. But when we organized as a group and were able to provide cheaper interest loans for buffalo rearing, the majority of people started producing milk instead of alcohol. Income generation from milk production encouraged many others and we now are able to start goat raising projects as well. We worked hard and faced so much difficulty in the beginning but today that all seems worth it.
