More Than a Goat.
Everything You Receive
You receive much more than one goat.
Your goat comes with
- practical materials,
- a safe shared shelter,
- health care,
- identification,
- training,
- local support
- and the help of four other women.
As the group works well together, money is also added to the Care and Reward Fund. This gives the five women shared resources to protect what they are building and respond to future needs.
2
Your female kids remain yours
Every female kid born to your goats stays with you. As they grow and have kids too, your herd can become stronger year after year.
3
Milk for your family
Your goats can provide milk for your home. Milk can also become yoghurt or cheese and may help you create a small income.
4
Useful care materials
You receive basic items to help you give your goat clean water, suitable food, minerals and safe daily care.
5
A safe shared shelter
The five women receive a communal shelter and shared equipment to help protect and care for all their goats.
6
Health care and registration
Your first goat receives the agreed health care and identification. New kids that are reported correctly can also be cared for, tagged and officially registered.
7
Knowledge that stays with you
You learn about feeding, shelter, illness, pregnancy, birth, milking and caring for a growing herd.
8
Four women beside you
You do not begin alone. The other women can help when you are ill, absent or facing a problem with your goats.
9
Shared support for the future
Good care and honest cooperation can earn financial contributions for the Care and Reward Fund, helping the group protect what it has built.
