The Ubuntu Journey

Step 6 - What We Ask of You

What We Askof You.

We ask you to do six simple things.

Your goat is free and she belongs to you. In return, we ask you to care for her well and work together with the other four women.

You do not have to do everything alone. You can help each other, and local people can help when special goat care is needed.

Take good care of your goats

Give your goats clean water, enough food, a safe shelter and the care they need every day.

Tell us what happens

Tell us when a goat is born, becomes ill or dies, and when something important happens. This helps us give the right care and keep the goat records correct.

Give the male kids back to the project

Male kids are sold. The money is used to buy a female goat for another woman, so she can begin too.

Help another woman begin

Together with the other women, help choose the next woman fairly. Welcome her and help her begin with her own goat.

Care for your goats. Be honest. Help each other.

Do these things together, and your goats can grow into something good for you, your family and another woman.
