Hope Alive Uganda runs a goat project for orphans.

The project started in June 2009 when the first 10 orphans received a goat by Hope Alive Uganda. In November 2009, thanks to donations through the 1 % club that Hope Alive Uganda is working with, 25 orphans received a goat.   In total, 39 orphans received a goats between June and November 2009, thanks to Hope Alive Uganda.

The idea behind this project is that the orphans will give back the first female offspring to Hope Alive Uganda.  Hope Alive Uganda will then pass it on to another orphan.   In this way, the project can be sustained by the orphans themselves, without Hope Alive Uganda continuing to finance the project.  In this way, Hope Alive Uganda is able to finance other projects or start new projects.

The orphans can use the goats and their offspring to help themselves pay schoolfees, schooluniforms, schoolmaterials or simply, to live their lives.  They can do this by selling milk, by selling goats etcetera.

Hope Alive Uganda has now entered a new phase in the goats project, which is to monitor the orphans passing on the first female offspring.   The orphans will be guided continuously by Hope Alive Uganda.
