Give Goats & Poultry to 500 Ugandan Single Mothers empowers 500 women with livestock and training in animal care and small-business skills. Each mother receives 2 goats, 5 chickens, vaccines, feed, and training sessions. This boosts household nutrition, income, and self-reliance. Families can sell milk, eggs, and offspring to cover school fees, health costs, and daily needs. The project builds resilience in rural communities and strengthens food security.
About 30% of Ugandan single mothers live in rural poverty, often without assets, secure income, or land access. This leads to food insecurity-28% of households face it-and puts women at risk of hunger, poor health, HIV, or transactional sex. Without economic options, children miss school and vulnerabilities persist across generations.
Providing 2 goats and 5 chickens plus training gives each mother income assets. Animals produce milk, eggs, and offspring to sell or consume . Training boosts animal care, nutrition, and business knowledge. With basic coaching and supplies, women can grow herds over time, improve household food access, and reinvest profits. This direct support helps break the cycle of poverty.
As herds grow, mothers gain reliable income, better nutrition, and more funds for school and health. Livestock ownership is linked to reduced child stunting and improved food security . Trained women may mentor others, creating a ripple effect in their communities. Over time, these mothers build assets, stabilize family welfare, and contribute to rural economic growth-helping lift whole villages beyond poverty.
