Goats: Help Families Become Self-Sufficient
Story
The gift of a goat is a sustainable way to help a struggling family in Haiti. Goat milk is not only a source of nutrition but goat breeding can be a pathway out of poverty.
Impact
With the extra income provided by the sale of goats at market, an entire community organization will be self-sufficient. Also the goat's milk will provide children better nutrition and improved health.
Challenge
Goats can thrive on just about anything -- even grass and leaves on the poor, dry land in rural Haiti -- so there is little cost for their upkeep. Goat milk is easier to digest than cow's milk. Goat meat is a popular food in Haiti so there is a strong demand at the local market. Goats often have two or three kids a year so community organizations in Haiti want to start self-sufficient goat breeding enterprises.
