Supporting Resilient Women Livestock Keepers.

In Nyangezi, Walungu Territory, many vulnerable women struggle to provide enough food for their families and earn a reliable income. Limited access to livestock, start-up capital, veterinary services, and practical farming skills makes it difficult for them to build secure livelihoods. Through the Supporting Resilient Women Livestock Keepers in Nyangezi project, we aim to change this reality by helping 50 vulnerable women develop small livestock farming into a sustainable source of income, improved family nutrition, and greater financial independence.

Our project has a total budget of $15,000, and we have raised our first $20 through the fundraising effort. Although implementation has not yet begun, important preparations are underway. We are currently identifying qualified trainers and prospective participants who will take part in practical training in animal husbandry and income-generating activities. Once sufficient resources have been mobilized, the project plans to provide goats, pigs, or rabbits, alongside basic veterinary supplies and technical guidance. The women will also be encouraged to form solidarity groups where they can share knowledge, support one another, and build stronger economic opportunities. These activities are designed to help families improve their access to food and become better prepared to face financial difficulties.

Every contribution brings us closer to reaching the women who need this support. Our initial fundraising progress is modest, but the need remains urgent, and the opportunity to make a lasting difference is real. With the support of GlobalGiving and our generous donors, we are working toward raising the funds needed to turn this initiative into practical assistance for 50 women and their families. We sincerely thank everyone who has already contributed and invite new donors to join us. Your donation can help a woman build a livelihood, put nutritious food on her family's table, and take a meaningful step toward a more secure future. Together, we can help women in Nyangezi move from vulnerability toward greater independence, dignity, and resilience.
