Project targeting import substitution of goat and dairy to be launched
The $23 million, Strengthening Smallholder Enterprises of Livestock Value Chain for Poverty Reduction and Economic Growth in Nepal (SLVC), project will work in 28 districts to build up value chain enterprises of goat and dairy over the course of 5 years with the goal of reducing import of live goats by 30% and milk by 10 % by involving 138,000 smallholders.
| Watch how a woman transformed herself with Heifer's support.
Meet Mandira Bote of Sarlahi, Nepal. She and others in her community near the Bagmati River belong to a marginalized, nearly extinct caste of landless fishermen. Before Heifer came into the community in late 2006, the women there suffered greatly. This photo of her was taken at the beginning of the project by Heifer's partner, the Bagmati Welfare Society of Nepal. Make a note of what's missing or hiding: No goats, no smile, and just the tiniest hint of the confidence, determination and lifelong dream of learning that had yet to be realized.
