SoyaCow technology produces a palatable, highly nutritious, cereal or almond flavoured milk without cholesterol. The milk and okara mash can then be used to produce other soya products such as yogurt, tofu and vada. One machine can produce sixteen-three gallon batches in an eight hour day - equivalent of a herd of 16 cows in India.

SoyaCow machines are used in Child Haven homes in Kathmandu, Bangladesh, Hyderabad and Kaliyampoondi because soy milk is low cost, high protein product which is cheaper to produce than cow's milk. From a given acreage, ten times as much soy milk can be produced at one third to one half the price of cow's milk. Soy milk made on the premises of schools and homes is safe from contamination by dilution with water. It is also free from the danger of transmitting tuberculosis or other diseases from infected cows.

In addition to the health benefits of soya milk, Child Haven's SoyaCow Project has generated employment for women. These women are 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.
