Goats and training in animal management in Nepal 

For women like Dhana in poor rural communities, owning goats is a simple way to increase their household income to meet their basic needs. A donation today could provide a goat, training in animal management and support from community savings groups to give women the best chance of success. We know that when women are supported, families and communities are transformed. And it can all start with a goat! 

In Nepal, Dhana was empowered to build a new beginning with the gift of a goat and some training. Now Dhana has seven goats, and her growing herd generates an independent livelihood.
