Goats: a huge part of the Solution!
By Katiana Anglade | Project Leader
The women and community members in the village of Gros Mornes welcomed 180 baby goats into this world as of this past summer. These kids came 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.

COVID Impact on Women's Projects
By Josette Perard | Executive Director
Although Lambi Fund is continuing all our work on women's projects because women are often responsible for the health, well-being and nurturing of their families, it is imperative that we address the impact of COVID-19 on families in rural Haiti.
We have a four-phased approach and will be talking about each phase in the upcoming reports:
1) Health Awareness and prevention training
a) Awareness - Radio spots, texts, trucks with bullhorn announcements
b) Small group trainings with women on methods to prevent the spread of COVID-19
2) Distribution of sanitary materials
3) Funding for food purchases by women for their families during health crisis
4) Financial support for women and continued support of women's projects after the third phase of the COVID-19 plan.

Women Raise Goats
By Josette Perard | Executive Director
Goat Breeding Project
Translated from Haitian Kreyol
This project was started with a herd of 90 females and 9 male goats, the females being the local breed bought in the area on different markets while the male breeds are an improved breed (Boer breed) that were bought from a specialized animal breeding center in the country. All of these goats were distributed to 9 sub-groups in 9 different locations. Each sub-group received 1 male goat and 10 females.
Since the launch of the Project, the Lambi Fund has given the Organization all its support to help set up the project management team. In this regard a project management committee (7 members) and 9 other small committees with 3 members each were set up to manage goats in each sector. At the same time the Organization also benefited from engaging 2 Veterinary Agents and a catalog for the pharmacy manager.
The Organization enclosed a field in each locality to look after animals and also set up a grassy area for goats to feed safely. Immediately following the purchase of the animals, the Lambi Fund helped the Organization purchase a set of medicines worth $75,120.00 gds ($ 1192 USD) to set up a Veterinary Pharmacy at the headquarters of the Organization, which included necessary medicines to assist the goats if they became ill.
While the Organization was implementing all of these activities, the Lambi Fund assisted the Organization in obtaining a Veterinarian to conduct 2 training sessions for 30 members of the Organization on breeding techniques and how to fight the diseases of goats. more. It was mainly the project management committee members and the beneficiary group members who participated in these trainings. Two veterinary technicians from the Organization were also hired to attend the project and have participated in these training sessions.
