$870 needed to purchase a goat and materials to grow his business
$20 contributed by James towards his project
Your investment will help James buy goats, elephant grass seed and medication for the herd. Elephant grass is an important forage crop. The young plants can be used for grazing, but mostly it is used for feed in stalls or made into silage. The manure from the animals is productive as an organic fertilizer to his own crops and can be sold to local farmers. The goat herd business will employ neighbors from his village.
The family farm helps support the local community by providing jobs.
