Goat Couple
Goat Couple
Goats can play a key role in the livelihoods of rural communities, feeding on household waste – so they get rid of rubbish and unwanted scraps – and providing milk and manure as a bonus. As part of Oxfam Australia’s commitment to environmentally sound programs, goats are distributed to vulnerable families because they are easy to raise and take care of. We also provide training in keeping animals, vaccination and de-worming.
“They are very easy to take care of. Every day in the morning I take the goat to graze, and around 9 or 10 o’clock, I bring it home to drink water. Then I take it back again to the grass ... I am very happy because it is a female goat and it will have babies and I can sell them and buy things for school. I am in Grade Six.” Alberto Atanasio Malhaieie, aged 15, Mabawane, Xai Xai district, Gaza Province, Mozambique
