Goat Breeding Project in Ethiopia
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 6 Oct 2017
Recent droughts in the West Hararge zone of the Ethiopian Region of Oromia have blighted the lives of people living in this impoverished community. Most women have no sustainable income and many lost vital livestock as pasture land and water sources dwindled.
Plan International, working in partnership with the district Livestock and Fisheries Office, has implemented a programme to purchase goats from the community to donate to women who have lost their livestock. The women are trained on how to breed the goats, which they can then sell to make a profit, helping lift them out of poverty.
