30 goats to 30 Women of rural Balawoli

First and foremost, we are very excited for 2025 and the gift of life. As we move on this year, we have started to sell the male goats in order to take young girls to school. Education is one of the strongest aspects of life for children in Uganda, most especially young girls. Putting into consideration and knowing very well how girls are lured into child marriages in Kagumba village as a result of no education we started this goats project in 2022 to see that we secure education opportunities for young girls in this village. 

The village has one public primary school which is supposed to accommodate all the children in the village. However, most mothers are not able to afford school, which costs only 25 dollars per term. Through the project, we have managed to change the mindset  of women by sensitising them about the good of education and how its every child's right to be in school. By the end of 2024, the goats had multiplied to 30 goats, both male and female. We will be selling the four male goats to the local market, and we will be able to enroll three children into school. 

Joyce, the project leader, says she is very excited to see one of her children go to school after staying home for over three years with school due to poverty."  Joyce is a mother of five children who was abandoned by the husband, and through her, this project was started to see that she provides for her children. Joyce has 4 gaots now, and she believes that she can dream again of a better and brighter future for her children. 

Thread of Life Women Empowerment Ministries,  believes that with these baby steps, we will be able to create positive change to the people of Uganda and also break the narratives of child marriages, unemploymen,  no education and poverty. The women are super excited and eagerly waiting to see their lives transformed. This year, I will be giving out more 10 goats to 10 other women. 

As an organization, we are very grateful and honored to have you, our donars, walk a mile with us this year as we impact lives and change the narrative poverty in Uganda in 2025.
