    Goats, goats, and more goats!

    Day 86

    Precious Cargo

    Goats are precious cargo. They offer stability, food, a livelihood, and so much more.

    Farmers in Annayo rely on them, if not for meat and milk, then to sell their offspring to earn enough money to send their children to school.

    The farmers in Annayo continue to feel the effects of the devastating 2017 drought, when they lost many livestock, including goats.

    We weren’t able to get all of the farms enough goats the first time around, so today, we decided to get these hardworking farmers some more!

    “Many of our livestock have died because of drought cause by climate change,” said Adnan Gahayr Farah, “and this isn’t something that previously used to happen. I once had many more goats and now I only have five. Restocking our livestock will be such great help for my family.”

    This change made possible by Mankind is My Business.
