JJ’s story

​JJ is lucky. He has a mother and father and 4 siblings. However, his parents are uneducated and cannot get work so they live as subsistence farmers. Subsistence farming is tough. Drought comes, food becomes scarcer. It can be especially hard for families who have no other source of income like JJ’s family.

“When you give us these goats, we chase the poverty from our homes.”
​
— JJ’s mother

​​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.
