Fruit Trees and Goats Provide Food and Income
The Dadpur community hopes to improve their lives by raising fruit trees and goats.
We are continuously providing Transformational Community Development (TCD) classes and motivation through meetings and home visits. During the home visits, most of the family members share many problems with the TCD worker, and he tries his best to suggest solutions to their problems. Since most of the families are poor, they do not have enough money to buy nutritious food, especially fruits from the shop. This month he has encouraged each family to plant different fruit trees so that they can fulfill their nutritional needs from their own homes.
We discussed the needy families in the TCD committee meeting. The TCD committee believes that through animal husbandry they can increase their income and overcome poverty. This month we were able to help four families by distributing goats which were subsidized by GHNI. The TCD Dadpur committee bought eight goats for four needy families, and they are all very happy to get the goats. Now the families are hoping to increase their income by raising goats. They said that they were successful in buying goats because of the help of TCD.
Thank you!
