Meet Abed, a Give-a-Goat Recipient

Kigenyi Abed is a thirteen year old who lives with his elderly grandmother. Unemployed, she was having a hard time paying for his school fees and supplies.

Luckily, Abed was registered for the give a goat project.

He received one goat which has now given birth to three kids.

When Abed is at school, his grandmother helps him by feeding the goats. On the weekends, he cares for the goats, and even reads to them. Abed sold two goats in 2024 to help pay for his school fees at Hadassah Primary School.

He is hopeful that the remaining goats will help him to pay for secondary school next year.

Abed is not unique.
​
Throughout the developing world, the prospects for children born in a rural village are bleak. They are likely to remain poor their whole lives. In addition to poverty and malnourishment, many children in our partner communities come from unstable or unsafe homes.

The surest way out of poverty is education. But school in Uganda isn’t free. One easy way to help? Give a child a goat.
