Emprovement of sheeps español
In 2003, the CEAS decided to restart this project after 13 years, with the certainty of having a previous experience on the improvement of sheep in the communities of the province of Chimborazo. It has been done with the greatest enthusiasm and seriousness.
We started this project because a lot of communities felt the need to achieve a better standard of living through this kind of productive projects. Sheeps are animals that are linked to peasant culture but in most communities, there has not been improvement of the wool quality and weight, as their native-bred animals are underweight and their wool is thick. Also, they ignore the proper way of handling the sheeps.
General objective
The main objective of this project is to improve the standard of living of the families in the communities.
