Goats that do good

No kid-ding here—this gift is an invaluable resource for rural communities. See how the Borena people benefit from a goat distribution program near Moyale in Ethiopia.

Women in particular are chosen as the beneficiaries because they are better able to manage the resource. Faduma Jatani , 30, a widow and the mother of five children said, "I don’t have any kind of animals. That’s why the community selected me. So now I can raise these goats and build my assets. I can get milk for my children. And after the goats reproduce, I can sell them and buy other household items."
