HOW TO RECEIVE A GOAT

'Goats on loan' are given to a group of women, called an Ubuntu Goats Community.

As a rule, a Community consists of 5 women, receiving 5 goats.

To start an Ubuntu Goats Community:

  • Set up a group of 5 women, one of whom at least has experience with herding goats.
  • Enter a request to start an Ubuntu Community by sending a motivational email to info@ubuntugoats.com. This email should include
    - the names of the 5 women who want to join;
    - the place where you want to launch the New Ubuntu Community;
    - your experience with goat herding.
  • If your request is accepted, you will receive 5 West African dwarf goats 'on loan'.

On what basis is a Start-Up Request granted?
The decision to fund a new Ubuntu Goats Community is made, based upon:

  • the distance from other existing Communities;
  • knowledge about goat herding by at least one of the start-up members;
  • the availability of sufficient financial reserves in the Ubuntu Goats Fund, to finance the launch of a new Community.

Who takes care of the goats 'on loan'?

  • The people of the Ubuntu Goats Community act as a group and are co-responsible for the 'goats on loan' and all of their offspring.
  • They have to take care of all of the basic needs (shelter, food, health care) of their 'goats on loan' and of the goats born from these goats.
