International dairy company Numidia has agreed to fund Raphael’s Milk Project for 2020. They are donating 8,500 Euros and have indicated their sponsorship could extend to 2021.
Ryder-Cheshire Foundation Chair Carolyn Tapley says that this is great news for Ryder-Cheshire Foundation New Zealand and for Raphael.
“We have been working hard over the past few years to find a sponsor for our Milk Project at Raphael. This is the best news we could hope for to start the new decade.”
Carolyn says long-time members Pat and Heather Moore had been promoting Ryder-Cheshire to their son Jim who has a network of philanthropic contacts around the world. Jim approached Numidia Managing Director Han van Hagen who thought the project a good fit for their charity arm the Numidia Charity Foundation.
“We at Numidia believe that everyone worldwide should be able to enjoy the benefits and the taste of quality dairy products. We are pleased to assist Raphael,” says Han.
Raphael is a Ryder-Cheshire centre in northern India. It provides milk daily to its residents and patients (who are mostly vegetarian) as part of a balanced diet to improve their nutrition and health. Called the Milk Project, it has been funded by the Ryder-Cheshire Foundation in New Zealand since the project started in 2008.
Numidia is a privately owned international sales, marketing and distribution company of dairy products and related food ingredients. Based in the Netherlands it has offices in four countries and distributes to over 100 countries globally. Their website is: https://numidiadairy.com
