Step 6 - What We Ask of You

What We Askof You.

Six simple promises help everyone succeed.

Ubuntu Goats gives you a real opportunity. In return, we ask you to care well, speak openly and work together with the other women.

You are not expected to do everything alone. These responsibilities are shared by the five women, with guidance from the local project liaison.

Care for your goats

Give your goats clean water, suitable food, safe shelter and the daily care they need to remain healthy.

Report births, illness, deaths and other important events so every goat can receive care, identification and registration.

Let every male kid help the community grow

Male kids are sold through the agreed procedure. Their value helps create a complete beginning for another woman.

Help choose and welcome the next woman

Together, select a suitable new woman fairly and help her take her first steps with Ubuntu Goats.

What we ask is simple: care responsibly, be honest and stand beside the other women.

When the five women keep these promises together, the goats, the group and the opportunity can all grow.
