GOAT RAISING IN CENTRAL VIETNAM
Hearts for Hue (H4H) has been funded to deliver a Goat Raising Project for families who have a family member with a disability. 50 households will benefit from the project. Families will be trained in goat raising, goat shelter construction, veterinary issues and participating in a Goat Raising Club. A local management Board will also be trained marketing products.
The project is structured so that the offspring of the goats are shared between the first cohort of families participating and a new cohort. Male goats will be sold for meat to local markets and female goats will be raised for reproduction. The project will be self-sustaining.
The project will help to lift families out of poverty while providing real and valued work for people with a disability, thereby improving individual’s life satisfaction and challenging negative community stereotyping.
