Livestock & Agriculture – Earning a Living

Goats and other livestock for women’s cooperatives and disabled persons’ organisations

OngoingEast Africa

Women’s cooperatives and organisations of persons with disabilities receive goats and other livestock, breed them and build self-managed, lasting incomes.

An income of your own means the freedom to decide. With this initiative we strengthen the economic independence of groups that are particularly often excluded: women’s cooperatives and organisations of persons with disabilities.

How it works

  1. The groups receive goats and other livestock.
  2. They keep and breed the animals – offspring can be sold or passed on to other members.
  3. Sales and offspring create an income of their own, managed by the groups themselves.

In this way one-off support grows into a lasting, self-managed livelihood.
