Okocho CarePoint has faced numerous challenges with extreme poverty and disease, largely caused by cattle raids, HIV/AIDS, and civil war with the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army). One of the ways to improve community development is through livestock projects.
When well taken care of, goats have the potential to multiply quickly and even be exchanged for cattle, which are the most lucrative asset in the community.
The provision of seed goats will act as an asset for personal investment and emergency situations for the children and guardians at the CarePoint and will contribute to becoming self-reliant. After the multiplication of the seed goats, the guardians can either sell them to earn money for other basic needs or exchange the goats for a cow.
