In Africa's rural areas, many poor families rely on their land to survive. But with such barren earth to farm and unreliable rains, they struggle to harvest enough food to stay healthy.
Through a FARM-Africa goat project, we can transform life for a poor community. We provide poor families with goats and training in how to care for them. We also give one member of the group Toggenburgs to breed with local goats, so the hardier offspring produce lots of nutritious milk. This can be drunk or sold to help pay for medicine and schoolbooks. Plus, the goats' manure is a great fertiliser for the family's crops.
