BARLONYO
Reports that 80% of their goats had twins because they waited until the females matured to reproduce.
And this is our first Ugandan cooperative to begin the 'pay-forward'!
120 goats were passed on to other members of the Barlonyo cooperative - a lovely occasion for us to have been present for!
Reporting the challenges of climate change; strange rain patterns and the sun burning some crops
Still, very happy to say crop yields are consistently up!
And, a mixed-blessing - where to store these increased crop yields once gathered, until they can be sold.
How wonderful for the co-operative to have this challenge to address!
Pay-forward recipients are anxious to begin composting, having seen the benefits of their neighbours.
John
prior to joining our initiative, onions were very small…too small.
He dug 2 holes just before receiving his goat in 2013 when he began composting.
Today, he says, his onions are enormous and enviable!
And he is very happy to be paying-forward a goat to an older woman neighbour and cooperative member, knowing it will be a blessing for her as well!
Betty
Received her goat in 2013.
She sold her bumper harvest of maize and bought another female goat.
She is very proud that in such a short time she is able to pay-forward a strong female and still be left with 2 pregnant ones which she hopes will again produce twins!
bringing the goats to pay-forward!
this project gives them a lot of baaaaa-ng for the buck...literally!

John, and to his left, the lady who received John's goat. Beside each person hold a tether is the person who gave them their goat.
Ugandans helping Ugandans!

Solomon congratulates a young woman who has paid forward to the man to her left. In a year or so, he will do the same for someone else!
