Through Global Village Connect I received a school scholarship and a goat, and I am now able to attend school and help provide for myself and my brother. The goat helps me pay for food, the scholarship covers my supplies, and the farm Global Village Connect started at Buyanga Primary School allows me to have lunch every day.
I’m very happy to be at school, and I’ve noticed a big change in my life since receiving support from Global Village Connect. I sleep better and eat better, and I have more energy to concentrate on my schoolwork. I am really happy with my life at school, and very grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given. My favorite subjects are English and Science, and I’m excelling in both. I want to become a doctor one day. I hope to use my skills to help the children in my community and make a difference in their lives. Join Global Village Connect and make a difference life of a child like Bridget. Give today.

I am the lucky winner because my goat has produced 3 offspring! Look at my kids, they have drank goat milk and now they are very healthy. Moshe has been farming from sun up to sunset for as long as he can remember. He does it in order to feed his 4 children, Shivum, 14, Haimu, 12, Tamali, 4 and Musibika, 4 months old.
Moshe struggles to raise all the funds needed for schools fees. Last season, farming was not good. There were barely enough crops to eat and no extra to sell. Moshe was recently able to sell 2 of his 4 goats which provided him the means to send Shivum and Haimu back to school. He hopes his goats have more babies, critical for educating his children. Miriam lost her parents and lives with her grandmother and her cousin. Her family’s only source of income was from the few crops they grow. But now, thanks to the generosity of GVC donors, Miriam has a goat, and she can use the money she makes from selling the goat’s offspring and milk to go to school and buy books. Sometimes it’s not easy selling the baby goats because kids get attached, but if it’s for school, then it’s worth it!
The good news – JJ’s goat is pregnant. His goat is having more than 1 and JJ is hoping it gives birth to three kids: one to keep, one to sell and one to give away to someone else in need. JJ’s family will use the money from selling the goat milk and offspring to pay for school, books, food and clothes. Plus, JJ and his siblings will have goat milk that’s highly nutritious and contains essential vitamins and minerals. |
