Building upon the success of previous cattle farming project, Bread & Life International partnered with local leaders in Nepal to establish a sustainable goat programme.
Why Goats?
Nourishment: Fresh goat’s milk provides essential nutrients for growing children.
Sustainable Income: Selling milk and offspring creates a dependable source of household revenue.
Education: The financial stability gained allows parents to afford school supplies, fees, and uniforms, keeping children in the classroom.
Goat farming has been shown to be profitable and manageable by women and children. We provide initial capital, with each participating household receiving three female kids (each costing around £40-50), with the aim to grow into a medium sized goat-farm capable of producing 20 kids (sold for £240-300 each) in five years. Beneficiaries recieve continuous, hands-on training in livestock management, care and business skills from our local church partners.
This initiative is designed to provide low-income families a manageable route out of poverty and towards financial independence
Four years later, from an initial investment of £4,305 across 11 families, and a starting point of 41 purchased goats, the community now manages a collective herd of 103 livestock. This represents over 150% growth, food security, income for school fees, and the foundation for a more stable future.
JOIN OUR JOURNEY
We hope to offer this path to independence to other families. Your donation today is not a temporary fix, but a long-term investment in a family, a community, and a more sustainable world.
Since retiring as an NHS nurse, one of our volunteers, Brenda Lee, has moved to Nepal, where we are launching a new Goat Project dedicated to empowering 20 vulnerable families, with a goal to provide 60 goats in total.
£40 can purchase a single goat.
£120 fully equips 1 family with 3 goats to launch a sustainable livelihood.
Your support directly funds the purchase and distribution of these animals to the families who need them most.
