Today, we are highlighting some of our partners up north in the village of Gros Mornes. As of this summer, 180 baby goats have come into this world from the first set mothers that were initially distributed at the project's inception. 110 of those babies have already been weaned and placed in their new homes. By the end of fall, 46 others will follow suit. Your support has made this project so successful that there will actually be a second round of distribution once every member has received a goat. This allows for our partners to gain more economic stability as their goats reproduce; they can sell them and bring in other forms of income.
That's not all! The members continue to give their support and energy towards the project as they assist with the upkeep of the pens. They also bring food to feed the mothers regularly especially when the lack of rain causes scarcity. THey have gone as far as purchasing pastures for blocks of time to ensure that the goats do not die of hunger.
While there is still so much chaos going on around them, they continue to take the necessary precautions to fight the spread of COVID-19 and care for these precious babies. There is some light shining through the dark clouds with these goats.
