Goats for children affected by HIV/AIDS

‘’I am very happy with Baylor Uganda for the support they have extended to my family under the AFCA project. I was given seeds in the form of ground nuts and maize for planting and also given some agronomic training.  As I talk, now I am expecting to harvest some produce out of the seeds that I was given’’

Anna's family is one of many in our projects in Uganda. Their life was filled with despair and illness and hunger.  Now they have hope in their hearts as they learn about gardens and livestock.  They feel healthier, and proud to take care care of something of their own.

Anna was given three female goats, and two have given birth to four kids which brings the number of her goats to seven. She has been visited and supported, according to our requirements.  The family is able to handle the day to day care of the goats, which brings great pride.  Our partners at Baylor Uganda are there to answer questions and guide them through breeding and vaccinations.

‘’I feel I have no words to use in thanking Baylor and AFCA because the support extended to my family is very much. This is because they found me in a very worrying situation as a widow and always very sickly, looking after my two children was not easy. With the AFCA project I feel my family will be alright’’

Anna believes she can use the benefits from the AFCA agriculture and livestock projects to educate her children and properly provide for her  family.  And we're here to help her every step of the way!  Everyone here at the American Foundation for Children with AIDS, and our partners in Africa. thank you for your continued support of this important project.  If you would like to learn even more about this project and others, please contact Tanya Weaver at tweaver@AFCAids.org.
