About The Project

$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.



Paying it Forward

The family farm helps support the local community by providing jobs.

Backstory

James and his wife have 6 children. They currently sell goats, sheep, chickens, eggs wheat and Irish potatoes. This income goes towards school fees and food for the family. He would like to plant a kitchen garden, to help provide the family a healthy diet, and buy a cow for a source of milk. He would like to improve their home by adding a cement material to the structure and to buy more furniture. His family is faced with the challenges of no electricity, distant schools and medical care.
