In the spirit of the approaching new year, we are sending a new and possibly unexpected update! Today we are highlighting an unusual fundraiser we held for our goat herding program: Goat Yoga and Cuddling for a Cause!
As you may know, in Niger, a lack of opportunity is sending men out of their communities to seek work in other countries, leaving women and children behind. But through sustainable goat herding, women can provide for their families and their communities, promoting self-sufficiency and women-driven development. Many people in these communities live on less than $2 a day. They need our help to get their businesses off the ground. In recognition of the similar challenges women face across the globe, Legacy Lane Farm, Jordan Taylor Wellness, and Rain for the Sahel and Sahara collaborated to hold goat yoga fundraisers in Portsmouth NH to raise money for this worthy cause. The response was joyful and uplifting!
We are still working to reach our goal - $1020, that would be enough to train the women to run their business, buy 16 goats, and feed and vaccinate them for a year. We hope you will help us reach this goal for 2020!
