About The Project

$445 needed to purchase sheep, livestock supplies, and to rent land
$290 contributed by Gideon towards his project


Gideon and his wife would like to plant elephant grass to feed the sheep.  (Elephant grass is an important forage crop in the area). Your investment will help them add to the sheep flock, buy the plant seed, and provide medication for the sheep. The manure from the animals is productive as an organic fertilizer for their own crops and can be sold to local farmers. The sheep operation will provide jobs to neighbors of their community.



Paying it Forward

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

Backstory

Gideon and his wife have a 2 year old daughter. A couple of their goals are to buy some type of motor vehicle and would like a better house with solar system (as there is no electricity in the village) and a proper sanitation system. The soils of the area productive and fertile. They currently sell Irish potatoes, wheat, onions, chickens and ducks. They face similar challenges of others in their village: the school and medical center are far away and the roads are poor.
