The Livelihood Goats project helps vulnerable rural families move from survival to stability through productive livestock ownership. Many households have land and labour but lack assets to generate a reliable income. This project addresses that gap by providing goats, training, and ongoing support that enable families to build sustainable livelihoods.

Each supported household receives goats as productive assets, alongside starter feed and practical training in animal care, breeding, and disease prevention. Goats generate income through milk production, the sale of offspring, and gradual herd growth.

 They also improve household nutrition and act as a living savings system during emergencies.

The project prioritises vulnerable rural households, including female-headed families and those with limited income opportunities. With proper care, goats reproduce quickly, allowing families to grow assets over time rather than relying on short-term aid.

Donations support a proven livelihood model that delivers measurable results. Households gain income stability, improved food security, and long-term resilience. This practical approach restores dignity and strengthens communities through self-reliance, not dependency.

Before support, Amina struggled to feed her children through irregular farm work, often skipping meals herself. Receiving goats changed everything. 

With training and care, her herd grew, providing income, food, and security. Today, Amina supports her family independently, keeps her children in school, and faces the future with dignity and renewed confidence.

The Livelihood Goats project is delivered through Islamic Help and trusted local partners. Beneficiaries are identified using community verification and vulnerability assessments. Priority is given to households with minimal assets and limited income options.

Each goat package is recorded, distributed, and monitored from delivery to household setup. Training attendance, livestock health, and herd growth are documented. Field teams conduct regular follow-up visits to track outcomes and provide technical guidance.

Impact is measured by herd survival rates, offspring numbers, changes in household income, and improvements in food security. Veterinary checks and disease prevention protocols reduce livestock loss. Financial controls follow UK charity regulations, with data logged centrally and reviewed routinely.

This structured approach ensures transparency, accountability, and traceable impact. Donors can give with confidence, knowing that their contributions support measurable, sustainable livelihood outcomes.

Thank you for empowering families through dignified livelihoods. Your generosity helps households build income, food security, and resilience. Every goat represents hope, stability, and opportunity. 

Together, we are creating lasting change that strengthens families today and secures brighter futures for generations.
