The SoyaCow machine is capable of making three gallons of soya milk in 30 minutes from 1.7 kg. of raw soybeans. The technology was developed by ProSoya Foods Ltd., a group of Ottawa scientists and entrepreneurs.
In 1988 a SoyaCow Support Group was formed and by 1992 Child Haven International had purchased six SoyaCow machines. Child Haven received funding for this environmentally friendly project from The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). There are now 35 SoyaCow machines in India.
Child Haven's SoyaCow Project has generated employment for over fifty women. Child Haven is now in the process of initiating some cottage industries for economically disadvantaged women. These women will be trained to operate the SoyaCow machines and sell the soya milk products, thereby achieving some economic self sufficiency and generating revenue which can be used for the benefit of their children.
