Re-advertised Tender notice : Supplying dairy cows with excellent quality and quantity of milk with 6 months feeds- GAC

Islamic Relief is interested in supporting households in the governorates of South and North Lebanon. For Islamic Relief, there is no greater priority than ensuring work has the greatest positive impact on those we  serve. Inspired by Islamic faith and guided by islamic values, IR envisages a caring world where communities are empowered to become agents of change, social obligations are fulfilled and people respond as one to the suffering of others. Households are providers for their families and therefore they are considered to face a huge responsibility in maintaining the well-being of many individuals, mainly children, especially under the umbrella of high unemplyment rates and poverty. In working with households, Islamic Relief takes seriously its responsibility to uphold development opportunities.

It has come to light that there is a scarcity of cow milk all over Lebanon, not to mention the economic crisis prevailing in the country which in turn is leading to difficulties in maintaining decent livelihoods. The idea was not simply to increase the supply of milk but rather how to increase it in a way that involves households who are in need of financial support. As a humanitarian organization, Islamic Relief’s priority is to create opportunities in order to aid the Lebanese people in improving their livelihood and living with dignity.

According to the latter, the idea was to purchase a certain number of cows with it's 6 months feeds, and distribute them as donations to households that are mostly in need, have a previous experience in livestock farming, and have an adequate place for taking care of the cow. The beneficiaries will then be able to benefit from selling the milk which in turn will result in increasing the supply.
