The goal of the Goat Distribution Program is to support needy villages in Nepal.
Our goal is to give people in needy villages the opportunity to build a better future. How? By giving away goats, which bring food and income through breeding. Goats not only provide nutritious milk and meat, but also valuable wool and other by-products for further processing. Their simple breeding requires minimal resources and thus secures livelihoods in an efficient manner.
Since the severe earthquake in 2015, many people are still living in corrugated iron huts. Your income is not enough to buy building materials for a new house. Many families also lack the money to enable their children to complete their education. We want to support these families and enable them to earn additional income through goat breeding.
In 2021 we launched the "Goat Distribution Program", and in 2022 we were able to help the village of Grang in the Langtang region. ( travel report )

Cost
The exact costs are difficult to estimate.
We calculate $200 per animal including transport and $1200 for the breeding ram. The prices in Nepal, both for petrol (transport) and for animals, are very dependent on the global economy and the availability of goods.
The power of goats
Goats not only provide nutritious milk and meat that add value to often monotonous diets, but also valuable wool and other by-products for everyday use. They are also easy to breed and require minimal resources, making it easy for them to make a living.
