The Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Enterprise (MAFSE) donated 75 chicks, mixed Rhode Island Red and Black Sexlink, and 100 lbs of chick starter ration to Jacob Farm. The farm is a rehabilitation center for alcohol and drug addicts which is located in Patchakan, Corozal, and currently rehabs 22 males.

The main purpose of the donation is to boost the institution’s agriculture livestock program, thus ensuring a constant supply of quality eggs and meat to their kitchen. In keeping with Plan Belize, the MAFSE will assist organizations that include agriculture as part of their positive discipline program in helping out at risk youth and adults.
