Goat Rearing (Small-Scale Business) Part 2 of 2 (50 of 100 Goats)
This is part two of a project that will supply two goats to 25 guardians (quite often grandmothers and widows) of orphaned and vulnerable children in the Kabondo, Kenya. The goats will help individual households to have a sustainable source of milk and income through goat rearing. Goats are the least expensive livestock to raise locally. When the goats produce offspring, these guardian families will be able to purchase school materials and school uniforms. They will be able to afford to provide basic medical care and food for the orphans under their care in a sustainable manner. Funded. Funds transferred May 27, 2010.

The most urgent needs in Kabondo are educational support and care for HIV/AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children. The community intends to help these orphans through extended family members or -guardians- and not through orphanages (established orphan homes), as these are normally expensive to run and also break the bond these orphans might have with the remaining members of their extended families following the death of their parents.
