Dear Patron,
RWAYDAVO is helping 200 families in Burega Village, Rwanda, through a community-led goat farming project. The community identified key challenges:
Poor soil fertility
Lack of organic manure
Low crop yields
Malnutrition in children and mothers
Limited income opportunities
Poverty
Goat farming is a sustainable solution that can improve nutrition, income, and soil health.
Goal: $10,000
Remaining: $10,000
Donors: 0
Duration: 3 years
Challenges
Burega Village suffers from food insecurity and poor soil. Families lack:
Better farming methods
Organic manure
Nutritious food
Income from livestock
Without support, families remain in a cycle of low harvests, poor nutrition, and poverty.
Our Solution
This project will:
Give Goats to 200 Families – Each family receives a goat for manure, milk, and income.
Improve Soil – Goat manure enriches the soil naturally.
Support Nutrition – Milk improves diets for children and mothers.
Increase Income – Families can sell goats, milk, and manure.
Share Knowledge – Families learn animal care, soil management, and sustainable farming.
Offspring from goats will be shared with other families, spreading benefits in the community.
Impact
Better Living: More food, better nutrition, new income sources.
Community Resilience: Families can recover economically.
Recognize Local Knowledge: Strengthens traditional farming practices.
Long-Term Benefits: Goats reproduce quickly, helping new families over time.
