The Goat Foundation
Giving Hope By Giving Goats
We give vulnerable widows in various communities within Africa a means to earn sustainable income and become self-reliant through goat farming in arid and semi-arid areas.
About The Goat Foundation
The Goat Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2019 under the guiding principle of Cause Capitalism. Its mission is to empower vulnerable Widows across African communities by providing them with goats. By focusing on the most marginalized, The Goat Foundation enables widows to become self-reliant and restore their dignity through practical, a locally driven solution; Goat Farming.
