Context
Refugee women residing in Nakivale face pervasive poverty, primarily engaging in unskilled agricultural labor. The challenges of limited resources, technology, time-saving practices, and reliance on rainfall contribute to low crop yields, perpetuating a cycle of poverty with substantial post-harvest losses. To address this, our project is dedicated to fostering economic independence among these refugee women through goat farming, providing them with a sustainable income source. The initiative not only enhances nutrition through access to goat milk and meat but also empowers women by improving their farming and entrepreneurship skills. The overarching goal is to instill self-reliance, contributing to community empowerment and resilience, ultimately fostering positive impacts on individual livelihoods and the broader community.
