In the sun-drenched fields of Dasol, where hope sometimes feels as scarce as rain in drought, the New Tambac Farmers Association confronts a pressing challenge that threatens both their harvest and safety.
Every morning, farmers spread their precious rice harvest across busy roadsides each morning, flinching as vehicles speed dangerously close to crops that took months to nurture. Without proper drying facilities, these 35 farming families gamble their entire season’s income on asphalt where a single passing truck could destroy everything in seconds.
Then came a vision: a solar dryer project
A solar dryer would provide the farmers with:
- Protection from contamination, traffic hazards, and unpredictable weather
- Preservation of nutritional content, flavor, and quality of their harvest
- Reduced spoilage and post-harvest losses that eat into their income
- Faster drying time (1-3 days versus 10-14 days with traditional methods)
- Higher-quality rice that can command better prices at market
- A cleaner, more hygienic environment free from dust, insects, and pollution
- Sustainable technology that works even on cloudy days
Your Gift Creates Ripples of Transformation
Your gift of $14,578.62 builds more than infrastructure—it creates:
- Safety for farmers who currently risk their harvests and lives on roadsides
- Security for families whose children’s education depends on each successful harvest
- Dignity for a community ready to contribute their labor and maintain this vital resource
This isn’t about cement and steel. It’s about a father knowing tomorrow’s rain won’t wash away his children’s future. It’s about mothers sleeping peacefully, certain their family’s livelihood won’t be crushed beneath passing wheels.
Will you help aid these farmers in their next planting season?
