30 goats to 30 Women of rural Balawoli

Since we last monitored and evaluated, they have been able to increase, something that has brought so much joy to the women and their hpusehd. As we continue to rear these goats, we have deeper conversations on how we can benefit more from the goats projects. Some women were suggesting selling the male goats that are born in order to replace them with the female ones because they reproduce, hence multiplication. However, We lost two young goats this year in September due to drought in the region. Due to much heat, plants dry out, which causes grass to be scarce. 

In continuation, according to our sustainable place, we plan to sell our male goats one they increase to 20 goats to ensure we keep the girl child in school in Kagumba village. Kagumba village is one the villages in Uganda where poverty is the order of the day. People survive on substance farming, and those who dont own land survive on digging for others money whi are penuts. One of the biggest reasons that pushed Thread of Life Women's Empowerment Ministries to start the goats was to eradicate poverty and also find ways women can do something that is income generating to keep their children in school. 

We believe that once the women are empowered through the project, the community will be able to keep their children in schools and also provide for the basic needs of the family. More to that, the goats project has created more unit and harmony in the community, and all thanks to you, our continuous sponsors of the community. Joyce says, " Before Thread of Life Women, Empowerment Ministries initiated the project, we only met if someone had died, but now we meet to disciss how we can be better as a community." 

Nabirye says, "My husband only thought my only job was to give birth to children, go dig for food but not any more, the goat i am rearing has given birth twice and I was able to give one of kid goat to another woman for her rear too. My goats are multiplying, and I have a good feeling my children will at least attain their primary school through this." 

As Thread of Life Women Empowerment Ministries, we are committed to giving our donors updates and also changing the narrative of poverty in our communities and country at large. We are always grateful and thankful for generousity and kind hearts towords our work and endeavors.
