The Dairy Cow/Goat Distribution program provides income-generating livestock to economically disadvantaged women and families, particularly widows.
About This Project
Recipients receive animals, training in animal care and dairy farming, and business management support, creating sustainable income sources.

Project Goals
- Distributing dairy cows/goats to 200+ women annually.
