WHY GOATS

Why Goats

Goats are one of the most valuable and practical assets in the developing world. They are hardy animals that thrive in tough environments and require very little special care. The mixed-breed “bush goats” we provide eat almost any plant, meaning families never need to purchase costly feed. This makes them sustainable and affordable to raise, without creating a financial burden.

Another key benefit is that goat meat is highly prized in local markets, making goats a reliable source of income. As families breed their goats, their herd grows, and with it, their economic security. When unexpected needs arise—such as paying for medical care, school fees, safer housing, or better food—a family can simply sell a goat for immediate cash.

In this way, goats are more than animals; they are a living savings account. We like to call them a “bank on hooves”—a steady source of equity, stability, and hope for the families we serve.
