PROJECT WITH GLOBAL GIVING.

We have submitted in a proposal with global giving after completing the due diligence, in this proposal we wish to fund raid for our next priority project “A Goat Bank”, the idea is of a bank not lending money but lending goats... a person receives a female goat and when there is offspring passes on the first female goat to the bank community to be lent to another group member. The goats will be cross-bred from local does and imported Boer goat bucks, to provide improvement in livestock health and meat and milk production. This has been after making a good beginning with our two community projects in which we set up our own training schemes (carpentry and tailoring) to provide skills and potential for work and income for young people; as we also gain experience in receiving and managing financial support in a transparent and accountable way.

The goat bank project will help in restocking the animals that we lost during the civil strife and political instability, as well ensuring constant supply of milk and meat as a means of food security, and to reduce the problem of malnutrition especially among the children and pregnant and breast feeding mothers. This project will also help in conflict resolution and reconciliation in a community churned up by war, violence and deaths. To make the Goat Bank we must be train and organise. Organising people in work groups will bring them closer, enable work to common purpose
