Update About Our Transition Program in Partnership with Plenty Food Nederland, Plenty Food Deutschland, and Plenty Food International.

As you have been following our transition program, we are pleased to share new updates on our ongoing initiative to support former slaughterhouse workers in transitioning to veganic farming and sustainable livelihoods.

Over the past several months, our team has remained committed to educating and empowering former slaughterhouse workers with practical skills and knowledge in organic, plant-based agriculture. Through this program, we aim to create compassionate, healthy, and sustainable sources of income while promoting plant-based food systems and environmentally friendly farming practices.

Thanks to your continued support, the initiative is making meaningful progress. Recently, we supported our first group — a team of women who previously had no access to land for cultivation. To help them build independent livelihoods, they were provided with roadside stalls where they can now sell nutritious plant-based foods and generate sustainable income for their families.

We are also excited to share that another group has now been equipped with seeds, training, and essential farming skills as they begin their journey into veganic farming. This marks another important step toward building a future rooted in compassion, sustainability, food security, and community empowerment.

Thank you for your continued support and belief in this mission as we continue transforming lives through plant-based solutions and organic farming.

We have supported the group with skills, hoes, and seeds, as it is planting season. This team has joined many veganic farmers in the world, transitioning from their ex-work in the slaughterhouse to veganic farming. All this initiative was supported by Plenty Food International and many individuals who are donating through our GoFundMe. We take this opportunity to thank each and everyone who has seen this as a great work and is adding their voice in the fight for creating justice for animals. Please make a donation, and this will enable us to purchase seeds for the remaining group and provide guidance on veganic farming.
