IM’s goat-programme in Zimbabwe is built on the strategy that the receiving household passes on the first kid of the goat to another family. Goats usually have twin kids each year, making the programme easily expandable and long-term.

Why you should buy a goat

• Goat milk is more digestible for babies and is highly nutritious.
• The milk contributes to people’s nutritional and food security.
• Goats represent power. The more a household has, the more influence they have on the society.
• Goat manure is higher in fertilizer value than cattle manure.
• Goats are naturally disease resistance, making management of the goats easy.

They are also manageable by children, allowing orphans to own and care for their own goats.
