Successful Garden, Baby Goats, and More!

By Jen Doyle

Thank you for all of your support! Because of you, 32 people in and around Rafah, Gaza, are doing what they love--growing vegetables and raising cattle--and also supporting their families.

I am excited to share the success stories of our beneficiaries that we have just received from Kareem, a team member from our partner NGO in Gaza, the Women Programs Center-Rafah. 

The first update we have is about a beneficiary named Ahmed. You may remember Ahmed from previous reports. Last year he tragically lost one of his goats. Thanks to the amazing support of donors like you, Ahmed was provided with a new goat. Now, Ahmed’s goat has recently given birth to a new baby! Ahmed is overjoyed at the new addition, and now has a total of 3 goats. Ahmed is also doing well with his garden.

Another beneficiary we’d like to provide an update on is Amira. Amira is one of the most successful beneficiaries from this project, and her garden and her livestock are growing and thriving. Amira once told us, “I’ll get a thousand goats one day from this goat you gave me.” Amira is gradually fulfilling this promise, and she now has 7 goats in total, 5 males and 2 females, which are both pregnant as well! We are so pleased to hear of Amira’s success with her livestock and looking forward to seeing her farm grow even further. 

Our next goal with this project is to be able to supply our beneficiaries with fodder for their livestock. The last time we were able to do this was over a year ago, and we would love to send our beneficiaries this critical support for their livestock. The cost of food in Gaza is incredibly high, making it very difficult for beneficiaries to support themselves and their families in addition to livestock. The goal of this project is to help these beneficiaries reach a point where they can lead self-sufficient, sustainable lives, and we aim to provide them with as much support as possible while pursuing this goal. 

None of this would be possible without the support of donors like you. Thank you for all that you do to help keep this project going. Your support provides animals, supplies, and hope to these beneficiaries. We will be providing more updates for you soon!
